A merge has been proposed but cannot be done until the son's parents are merged. As a leader [also an Arborist], I can temporarily adopt these profiles and do the merging and cleanup, but I would like your approval before I do that. Post her with your reply. Thanks!

Berza-66 and Berza-1 appear to represent the same person because: I created this profile and it is obviously a duplicate of Berza-1. My apologies. Please merge.

I posted my wikitree to geneanet and received the following in an inconsistency report.: The dates of birth of the following children of Jacques Joseph Berza and Antoinette Lemoine are too close together: Jean Marie Berza and Marie Francoise Berza.

Leaving this comment here for anyone researching the family.
