Ap Ieuan-14 and Mathew-9 appear to represent the same person because: Hi Bob! Ap Ieuan-14 & Mathew-9 are the same person. From what I can tell, Robert and his brothers were known by the surname Mathew. They may have been baptized with the name, but I haven't seen any baptismal records. I protected Mathew-9 so that duplicates would merge into that profile, but if you have info to indicate that Robert was not baptized with a surname, please postpone the merge (with a comment). Thanks!

Mathew-220 and Mathew-9 appear to represent the same person because: Hi Richard! I think these are good to merge. There's another duplicate - http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ap_Ieuan-14 - but I don't find any sources calling him ap Ieuan. I've protected Mathew-9 & will propose a mere with Ap_Ieuan-14 also, but if you think his LNAB should be ap Ieuan instead of Mathew, please postpone the merge with a comment. Thanks!
