Embry-676 and Embry-85 appear to represent the same person because: I am a direct descendent of this line. They are the same person. Thank you!

Embry-591 and Embry-85 appear to represent the same person because: same dates, places, parents, wife....they were rejected as duplicates by the profile manager of Embry-591, she will need to add primary sources to prove that this lineage is correct and that they are not duplicates.
