Merge completed. Please clean up the Bio.

Good work everybody and thank you for sorting out the mess.

Decker-1264 and Decker-182 appear to represent the same person because: This match can now be merged into the NNS PPP. No tree conflicts.

The Decker tree is somewhat convoluted. I brought it to the attention of managers, and so now Tom Quick is resolving it properly through sources.

Tom asked of me, "Steven, Can we expedite merge of Decker-1264 into Decker-182 . I see no issues that would affect LNAB, as Decker-1264 is a mostly empty duplicate. The Decker profiles are a horrible mess, and the duplications make clean up very difficult, and leads to error. I will mark them as a match, pending merge approval. Tom"

So be cautious of the other matches, until Tom straightens them out.

Be cautious on merges with this. This is the probable NNS PPP candidate, but this is one of the several siblings who are conflated between two different men of the same name, who are NOT the same man.

It all needs to be sorted out by the managers on the father's profiles.

Edit: Tom Quick is working on sorting this out, and I will get them set for proper merge as needed.
