Braswell-262 and Braswell-427 do not represent the same person because: This surname is very abundant with marriages to Bryant. Therefore extreme care must be done in research before any merge is done.

However, the parents are completely different. A merge cannot go ahead until these have been resolved.

According to this record, Sarah's parents were both only 10 years old when she was born. Virtually impossible. Some kind of fix needed.
