Research Notes

Essie Mae and Mollie were combined at some point in the past since it was determined that they were the same individual.

@NI19517@ NOTE Could Mollie and Essie Mae be twins? JDS(15856) 05/28/07

No, these ladies were not twins, they should not have been merged. I have since separated the facts and they each have a separate profile now. Bell-1337 and Bell-35277 Leger-741
