Bager Baugher-1 and Baugher-69 appear to represent the same person because: same name, same birthday, etc

His official name should be "Johann Georg Bager" this is the german form and we currently have the latin form which would only be in church records. And even in the church records I found he is called "Johann Georg Bager" such as the baptism of his first son in Germany.

I was going to do a clean-up of this profile.

1) It has a ton of references that just don't link to anything. I guess they once pointed to ancestry.com reference but now don't link to anything. I was going to go through an savage the ones that work and delete the dead link references.

2) remove contradictory statements. For example, he arrived in America in 1752 in Philadephia. He didn't arrive in 1738.

3) also according to 18th Century PA German naming customs, the middle names are the common name used in everyday life. So, in America he would be called "George" or perhaps formally as "John George" such as on the ship manifest or on his tombstone. But would not be purely called by his baptismal saint name Johannius. So, the biography reads a bit false saying stuff like "Johannius was born in 1725", etc. And his wife would be called "Elizabeth" and not her baptismal name of Anna. So, this too reads false " Johannius and Anna eventually settled in Berwick Township, PA"

Baugher-236 and Baugher-69 appear to represent the same person because: Hello, information on both Baugher's are the same. Bager is another spelling from Germany...

He was rev Baugher and started over 150 Lutheran congregations on the east coast. :)

Seems like "Bager" and "Baugher" are backwards in the data. Per the text in the biography his name at birth was "Bager" and is current name should be "Baugher".
