Brooke-1857 and Brooke-853 appear to represent the same person because: dups with same parents and same siblings and same husband and same daughter and same son-in-law and same grandchild. Perwikitree policy each individual should have only one profile and dups need to be merged together so all info is gathered together on one profile in our global wikitree. Thanks

Brooke-853 and Brooke-1857 are not ready to be merged because: Please read the wikitree genealogists' honor code. Sources are required for the Brooke-1857 profile and then we can move ahead with the merge. The final profile should contain accurate, sourced data for everyone to use.
