Kennedy-17390 and Kennedy-8580 appear to represent the same person because: minor differences to work out but clearly the same man

Kennedy-15014 and Kennedy-8580 appear to represent the same person because: Matthew's information is a match, as well as son Citizen James. Please post or e-mail any questions on the match. Best,

Cousin Bruce
