Her parents were lost in the merge, (I really only wanted to keep the name from 1403, everything else from 131, but I guess I forgot to mention that!) so I restored them. Thanks for merging. PS: as far as management of the profile, you have two choices. You can manage it alone, in which case you have to remove the Louisiana Project from the trusted list. This profile does qualify for project co-management, so if you'd like the project help you keep an eye on it, you have to add the project as a profile manager AND you have to add Louisiana Family in double curly brackets at the base of the category stack, above the biography heading. Click the Privacy tab and scroll down to the trusted list to add the project as a co-manager. And see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Louisiana_Families to read more about the project.
I was also trying to merge this with Comeaux-131 earlier today and it would not merge. It seemed like it was blocked or had a draft pending so I stopped. I figured I could try again later after it clears. I wonder if we were both trying to merge at the same time. :)
