Dale-6107 and Dale-21 appear to represent the same person because: These are profiles represent the same person. The original profile for John Dale did not come up as a proposed match for some reason so I entered a new one. His birth date is unknown -- I guessed 1690 because I thought it unlikely he lived to be 100 .
