Dow-2084 and Dow-1464 do not represent the same person because: I am rejecting because as they are now they clearly do not represent the same people. Different parents, different spouses, different children. If there are known errors in 1464 perhaps the proponent of the merge should assist that profile manager so they may be corrected.

Hi,

I'm a descendant of Mary Dow & Thomas Chase.

Dow-2084 is a duplicate of Dow-1464, husband and children are incorrect on Dow-1464. The link to the tree on Ancestry and Family Search are no longer active.
