Bruce-245 and De Bruce-40 appear to represent the same person because: same name, same parents, same spouse, same time frame, same location
I am the manager of Clan Bruce in the Scottish Clans Project. Please do me a favor and change the LNAB from "de Bruce" to simply "Bruce." It makes the name a little easier to sort and is in line with Wikitree's naming policies. Thanks very much!

This profile is in need of adoption, now. This individual is in my lineage and I'm trying to learn more. I've just begun my ancestry journey, so I don't know how to properly care for this profile. Are you able to take over?
