Rice-287 and Rice-870 appear to represent the same person because: I would defer to the data on Rice-870 where any conflict exists (most of the data fields are near concordant or exact matches), given that profile Rice-870 is better sourced. These are the same person - not sure how we ended up with so many non-matches in this line, but more merges will result. This one should be completed before starting on the children. Thanks.
