Answer 1

Duplicate question?

Have you contacted the Profile Manager to discuss this?  It looks like there is another child Lydia born about 1802.  From comparing the two women you mention, it looks like the birth and death data for both women is the same.

This may have simply been an entry error when the profile was created.  We all make mistakes.

They likely should be merged into one profile as the wife of . John Burke.  Or Lydia's dob/dod should be changed and she could be merged with the sister Lydia.

Answer 2

Lydia Etha (BODINE) Moon 1780-1855 [Bodine-292] is Euphemia (Bodine) Burk abt. 1781-1854 [Bodine-252] SISTER, not daughter. Both daughters of James Bodine and Mary Polly (Rose) Bodine.

Some place Lydia as a sister-in-law of Euphemia [Burke-3738].

Lydia Burke 1802-1855 [Burke-3737] is profiled as Euphemia's daughter. Have not found a good source for the relationship.
