The strange case of Rudy Pyron, witness protection? [closed]

+2 votes
142 views
A while ago I was doing research on Rudy Pyron and his DNA connection to my Stiles ancestors. Today, I noticed that someone at FamilySearch started changing my information and deleted the information I had for him. When I went back to research I found that there was a second Pyron (Ruby) that had the exact same birthdate but a death date a few years later. The new person is claiming that their ancestor Ruby is descended of the parents I have attached rather than my Rudy.

To me, it looks very strange. More like a case of stolen identity.   I have posted the conflicting information on the page of my guy at wikitree.

duh thanks Helen.
I love a happy ending! Someone pass me a tissue, please ;)
In other contexts, Texans have told me "We do things differently in Texas." I guess this is one more illustration of what they were talking about.
