DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with William:

I think more care needs to be taken before merging!

It now states this man died before he was married!

Reed-17414 and Reed-5135 appear to represent the same person because: Same full name and birthdate. One profile provides parents and siblings, the other one wives and offspring - no clash apparently.

BDM Online has these marriages:

1. 1905/5661 Wilhelmina Robertson William James Reed 2. 1919/6220 Mabel Helen Main William James Reed (Main being the name from her first marriage - her maiden name was Hill).

The only registered birth in NZ of a William James Read is: 1882/9234 Reed William James Margaret Louisa William Archer

And the kids: 1905/16123 Reed William Alexander Wilhelmina William James. 1907/6940 Reed Gladys Ivy Wilhelmina William James.

The William James Read proposed by David has no spouse or children recorded, but has the same birthdate. Are we looking at merging these two perhaps?

David Jackson removed the parents originally set up by Kirsty Ward, but we have no change to the Biography which still shows these parents, no reason shown in the Changes list, and no Research Notes section explaining anything. I'm not disputing this, but can someone please put up an explanation to complete the record? If this is pukka, can you please amend the Sources list too, preferably with an explanation of why you think those sources could have been misleading.
