ancestry dna removed from sources during merger with Meyrinck-3
LNAB
Meyerinck is the surname recorded for Margarita's father at her baptism. Her name hardly appears the same twice across her church records. Quackenbush-118 05:10, 11 February 2017 (EST)
Meyer-2811 and Meyerinck-1 appear to represent the same person because: Meyer-2811 had been attached to the wrong parents, and I have removed her from that family. On the basis of information included when the profile was created (untouched in the Notes section), she is evidently the same person as Meyerinck-1. I've identified one source and have included some information, but I defer to the Meyerinck-1 profile managers on all details.
Thank you to Steve Mix for reviewing this profile and conducting the merge. I apologize for use the "normal merge" utility to suggest it in the first place, as at the time I did not realize that there were other methods in place. I have performed "clean-up" of the details of the profile on the page without deleting any of the particulars. Steve can let me know if he wants all of the acknowledgements to be preserved (they will always be available under the changes page.)
I have approved the merger suggested by Janne Gorman below. I believe it will be completed by members of the project team. Thank you all for your interest in cleaning these profiles.
Meyringh-1 and Meyers-185 appear to represent the same person because: same date of birth, place of birth, parents names, date of death, alternate spelling of husband's name Wiltsee vs. Wiltsie
Kanistanaux-4 and Kanistanaux-1 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles cite the same sources. Location of birth is a discrepancy, but the reports of the place of birth vary across records. Please consider opening up Kanistanaux to facilitate completion of merge if appropriate. Thanks!
Meyers-792 and Meyers-185 appear to represent the same person because: The following message from Michael Foos was posted on the WikiTree profile of Margaret Meyers.
The profile Meyers-792 represents the same individual as Meyers-185 and should be merged after the appropriate comparisons. The dates and parents are the same for both.
