Loy-529 and Loy-182 appear to represent the same person because: Loy-529 is the same person as Loy-182, which was created in 2013. Her birth date is December 1717, with her baptism on 13 December 1717.

I believe Loy-529 is a duplicate for this profile [Loy-182] as they have the same name and are married to the same man (connected on his page). I will set up an "Unmerged Match" for the profile managers to review before merging them in case there is a reason for this. Thanks! Becky (Simmons-11603)

From what I gathered from translated Googled websites, the difference between Rheinland-Pfalz & Hessen are political & tribal preferences in names for the same place. Therefore it's apparently common for duplicate public records to be kept with both versions so as not to offend the opinionated. Thus I have attached both records, although I'm not certain either is actually for this Anna Marie Loy. There seems to be some discrepancy as to whether she was born in Germany in 1717 or Pennsylvania in 1728. Either way these profiles should be merged so that we can all collaboratively work together on the same profiles. Discrepancies can be notated in the Bio under the heading '=Research Notes=' to eliminate any confusion requisite to maintaining duplicated profiles. Please Merge.

PLEASE Merge Loy-182 and Loy-312

Obviously, researchers have been mixing up these two individuals. So some keen research is required to differentiate and have the true lineages.
