Oliphant-543 and Oliphant-54 appear to represent the same person because: Oliphant-543 and Oliphant-54 appear to represent the same person because: same parents, same spouse, same siblings, etc. Would you both also consider putting me on your trust list? I am related to the Wests and belong to the West Name Study. Thanks for all of your cooperation!
