Barstow-212 and Carver-1636 appear to represent the same person because: Trying this again. Carver is correct LNAB. see narrative in Carver-1626 (Barstow was husband of her step mother...). Retain data from Carver-1626.
Carver-2147 and Carver-1636 appear to represent the same person because: Please merge Carver-2147 INTO lower number Carver-1636. Susan, wife of William Perry, has more than one duplicate, trying to get them all in one profile. Thank You
Barstow-212 and Carver-1636 appear to represent the same person because: The LNAB of William Perry's wife should be Carver. See the notes on the profile. Barstow was her step-father. Please merge Susan Barstow-212 INTO Carver-1636. Thanks.
