Borrows-42 and Burris-325 appear to represent the same person because: Would greatly appreciate if you can get Burris-325 merged into Borrows-42. They are the same person with a difference in the spelling of their last names. There is more information to be added to the profile and it can't be done until they are merged. Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation!
