Sherwood-1164 and Sherwood-145 appear to represent the same person because: The Hannah's will need to be merged also.

Sherwood-1164 and Sherwood-145 are not ready to be merged because: I have major issue with Hannah Stebbins as John's wife - Do you have some documentation for her ???
posted by Doug Smith
Doug,

The merge should still be done with a note on the profile that there is a question on the second marriage
