Spahr-409 and Sphar-2 appear to represent the same person because: I accidentally created a new profile given the alternative spelling of John's last name.

Sphar-58 and Sphar-2 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth date/location, parents, spouse, children (including Sarah my 4G grandmother who married Joseph Beazell).

This is my 5G grandfather.
