Lacking a response from any of the profile managers, I am converting the project box to a sticker and will ask a project Leader to remove PPP.

Colony, Laurel, Kentucky, United States is an erroneous location for this person's life events. It apparently was added when somebody's software autocompleted a manual entry like "Colony." Do not pay any attention to this location.

Randolph-1938 and Randolph-193 appear to represent the same person because: married to same spouse similar birth and death dates
posted by Joseph St. Denis
Randolph-381 and Randolph-193 appear to represent the same person because: Hello! I believe these two profiles represent the same person. Please merge if you agree.

Sincerely, Lynden Rodriguez

Catharine as a middle name has no source & should be rejected and only hinted to.
posted by Eddie Pike
Lacking any response for almost five years, I'm removing her middle name Catherine.

Randolph-587 and Randolph-193 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate wives of William Dye
Randolph-320 and Randolph-193 appear to represent the same person because: Thank you for proposing a merge with Randolph-320 and Randolph-193. I input the merge, but apparently you have to approve this before it is complete.
