Gaines-1275 and Gaines-367 appear to represent the same person because: Harriet Gaines 1884-1954 is my beloved grandmother, her mother
Mary Larocque aka LaRock lived 96 years, her mother Isabella Macdonald 1833-1901 Scotland origins.
Gaines-1618 and Gaines-1275 appear to represent the same person because: Same names. born within a year of each other, married to the same woman, both have sons name Kenneth born in the 1880s & died in the 1950s. These are almost certainly the same person and the profiles should be merged.
