But just a reminder that we share these ancestors with many people. Changing the parents on a profile is considered a significant change and should be discussed before on the profile or in g2g. Thanks!

If a merge is to maintain a single wikitree profile for each person, the profile intended to be Anne's father shouldn't be merged with the person documented in this profile.
Didn't provide proper comment in the removal. Apologies.
I understand that the Thayer website may have been the source of the copy-and-paste, but, to the best of my knowledge, that doesn't imply permission to post on wikitree.
