Estes-1778 and Estes-1595 are not ready to be merged because: Probably the same but parents need to be figured out. There is another set of Estes duplicates with the same problem. More research needed.
Estes-1778 and Estes-1595 appear to represent the same person because: clear duplicate; spouse & child need merging as well.
