Please add me to the trusted list so that we can move forward with a merge. There are two of Tom Hanks' father profiles out there and we need to ensure they are merged to eliminate duplicates. Thanks!

There is sufficient evidence that Hanks-1172 and Hanks-1764 represent the same person - they both have links to the same son, the actor Tom Hanks (which also are duplicates (Hanks-1763 and Hanks-1171) with 2 pending merges). Since the sons are obvious duplicates (we all know who the actor Tom Hanks is), these 2 fathers represent the same person. The full name of this profile is Amos Mefford Hanks and his complete birth/death info is at his Find A Grave memorial #18848547 link. He should also be linked to his parents Hanks-1215 and Ball-6795, which can be easily verified by the sources in the Hanks-1764 profile, as well as Find A Grave.

Hanks-1172 and Hanks-1764 are not ready to be merged because: Hanks-1172 doesn't have enough information to be sure they ar the same person.

Hanks-1172 and Hanks-1764 appear to represent the same person because: same name, birth, death, son
