This James Crow is an exact match to Crow-154. I will try to merge but have not been successful yet.
posted on Crow-1010 (merged) by J (Junge) Hardin
Crow-1017 and Crow-154 appear to represent the same person because: clear duplicates.
Crow-1359 and Crow-154 appear to represent the same person because: I ran across these two records that appear to be the same individual. If you agree, could you complete a merge?

Thank you, Krista
