You have the wrong set of parents.

Remove your parents, and connect to the correct set of parents. Elias Brouwer-2014 and his wife.

Best regards, Lilly Martin

Brewer-312 and Brower-370 appear to represent the same person because: Both represent the same man. He was of Dutch descent, surname Brouwer, meaning (in English) brewer (one who makes beer), hence the surviving surname should be Brewer, as anglicized.

Brower-2069 and Brower-370 appear to represent the same person because: Dates match, spouse matches, and parents match.
