Dillard-2176 and Dillard-1348 appear to represent the same person because: These are duplicates

Dillard-1348 and Dillard-2176 do not represent the same person because: Merge into lowest number

Brady-1418 Chris Brady
You realize that as part of the merge - you can switch the direction so that it merges into the lowest number? You don't need to reject it because of that.

Sorry, I could have been more clear:

Dillard-2176 should not be merged into Dillard-1348.

Dillard-2176 and Dillard-1348 should be merged into Dillard-995.

That merge is already proposed, so I rejected the merge into the incorrect profile ID.

Dillard-1348 and Dillard-995 are not ready to be merged because: Birth dates, location, death dates nit same

Brady-1418 Chris Brady
There are no sources on any of these duplicates - other than the ones I provided on the original Dillard-995. There are no records of her birth, but there is definitive evidence from her father's will that she is the daughter of Thomas Dillard and Elizabeth Holloway. Her marriage is also sourced and as it is to the exact same person as Dillard-1348, I'm not sure what else you expect when there are no sources for birth date, birth location, death date or death location - all of those are best guestimates. Reconciling those is part of the merging process.

I understand they had children and that there are sources for the children. I was referring to the profile of Ann Dillard - you set it to an ummerged match when they are clearly the same person.
