Oswald-1923 and Oswald-931 appear to represent the same person because: Sorry I created a duplicate. The reason, I guess, was because I had more precise dates for his birth and death, so your profile did not come up as a potential match. I have more sources and information, so when you complete the merge, please retain those. This person is not directly related to me, but was the father of the husband of one of my great-aunts. Thanks!
