I do not know you, personally. I have no way of knowing if you have primary source data for your proposed merge. Do you have such data ? If so, will you post it ? If not, please allow me time to post mine. I have 3 storage rooms of primary source data dating back to the early 1400s on over 1 million people. Obviously, posting that much data will take time to complete. I do not understand why you and a lot of others on here just want to go ahead and merge stuff before we compare any sources.....isn't accuracy the whole point ?
