PLEASE do not change the placement of the reference and footnote notations. 1/2 of the census data and other is lost if you do. No rule that I know of that says you have to have no space between "Sources" and References or can't have footnotes. Thank you.

Clower-311 and Clower-164 appear to represent the same person because: They're the same person with the same parents. Please merge and I'll fix the bio that is already done and sourced.

This person did not show up as already profiled when I created Clower-311. They are duplicates. This is exactly what is wrong with importing geds.
