Hi! I reviewed the MatchBot-proposed merge of Cantrell-206 and Cantrell-193 & confirmed they are duplicates. Same year and place of birth and death. Same parents and siblings. Profile Manager is also the same on both. Thanks! ~ Susan - MatchBot MP (MatchBot Monitors Project)

P.S. I've checked and Cantrell-193 is the lowest-numbered profile.
