Stearns-301 and Burnell-764 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate. LNAB is Burnell. Profile must be merged to Burnell-764

Is there a huge problem changing Hannah’s LNAB to Burnell? Been almost 12 months now.

I agree with the previous 2 comments regarding changing Hannah's LNAB. I have added a new profile for Hannah Burnell (Burnell-764) during a GEDCOM import as the current LNAB is not found for Hannah. LNAB can only be edited by people on Trusted List. I would appreciate if you would update LNAB to prevent additional Hannah Burnell's being added to WikitTree.

It appears that you merged the two women , Burnell-334 and Stearns-301, from the previous post listed below. As that post acknowledges, her first surname was Burnell, not Stearns. You need to change her profile surname to Burnell. It is easy to do, but only a PM or Trusted person can make that particular change. Please let me know your intentions.

Burnell-334 and Stearns-301 appear to represent the same person because: Hannah Burnell first married David Stearns; when he died, the widow Stearns married Captain Elisha Cranson. These two profiles are the same woman.
