I suspect that Jacob Byler and Jacob Byler are duplicates and needs investigation by someone who knows the Byler lines. I know the Oxford lines and Oxford-486 which was created at the same time by the same person was a duplicate profile.

Bleyler-4 and Byler-8 are not ready to be merged because: Locations for birth and death don't match, and death dates don't match. More research should be done before merging.
