Raulston-199 and Roulston-129 appear to represent the same person because: Raulston or Roulston are just two spellings of this individual. Their birthdays, etc. are exact and they are the same person. Either spelling for this individual still represents my third great grandfather.

Thank you, Douglas Duggar
