Help with merge needed

See Michel-287, Michel-49 and Michel-613.  I'm pretty sure they're all the same person.  She had two husbands, Schneider and Kuntz (also known as Koens).  I don't know where to start.  Mine (613) only has one husband....should I add Kuntz to start?  There is also a problem with having the daughter twice, which probably can be dealt with after the merge.  Thanks so much for your help!

Hello Martha.

Regarding the merging order, Michel-287 is to be merged into Michel-49 and Michel-613 into Michel-49 as well, see here:

There´s no need to add the other husband before merging the profiles. Both husbands will be kept, see here:

As you say, it's better to deal with the duplicate daughter after the merges.


Post any issue you could have.

1. The husbands have different birth and death dates - Schneider-752 and Schneider-3955 - that need to be resolved so those can be Merged.  

2. The 1st name of husband should probably be 'Christophel', based on birth / christening records that I found and added to Schneider-3955, but there are many variations in those sources.  Variations of 1st name can be put into 'Other Nicknames field'

3. I changed Michel-287 so Current Last name is Schneider, ie Last Married Name.  1st married name is now in Other Last Name, where it should be.

4. Michel-49 should be the profile that has the final merged profile since it is the 'lower numbered' Michel profile.  All husbands from the merged Susanna records will be linked in the final merge.  

5. Michel-287 marriage to Kuntz-274 is stated on his profile as 1714, which does not seem likely if she was born 1699 - 1708, so there could be a different Susanna Michel, which might mean that Michel-287 should not be merged with the other records.  Possibly Michael-613 should be merged 1st once the dates are resolved.

6. Birth dates / locations differences for Michael-49 and Michael-613 need to be resolved

7. There does not seem to be duplicated children attached to the 3 profiles.  I did not find a source for Catharina, but found a source for Christina.  It could be a set of twins or possibly a name being spelled differently on different sources.

Let us know if you need more help.
