Trotter-952 and Trotter-756 are not ready to be merged because: Our family history does not have more than one child for Mary Trotter & David Coltrane. There is another school of thought for these multiple children; however, i prefer to keep Mary Trotter separate from that line. We suspect there were two David Coltranes.
