Shepherd-4648 and Shepherd-570 appear to represent the same person because: The data is different but married to same spouse (merge has been proposed for her); neither profile has a reliable source for identification of parents (who are different from each other).

Shepherd-4648 and Shepherd-570 do not represent the same person because: Different parents, different birth dates etc...

But married to same spouse? Which Shepherd should we detach from the spouse?

Can we get any reliable sources for the identification of either set of parents?
