Did Evan Sr and Catherine really name two daughters Mary? Mary Hannah (Shelby - 7) and Mary Alexander or is this really messed up?
posted by Selena Simon
Shelby-184 appears to eight years old at the birth of her daughter Alexander-10778. Please correct

Thank you

Shelby-368 and Shelby-184 appear to represent the same person because: Sandy's profile (638) appears to be the same as Rodney's profile (184) though Sandy has the children and Rodney the parents. Both are married to Adam Alexander, signer of the Mecklenburg Declaration. The two Adam Alexander profiles will need to be merged as well though one is Project Protected Profile and the other is not.
