Meermans-6 and Dircks-10 appear to represent the same person because: Merge needed to resolve a case of mistaken identity. The woman of this name who married a Traphagen man was Dircks-10, the second wife of Willem Traphagen.

Meermans-1 and Dircks-10 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest maternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge. No tree conflicts. These matches have been reviewed by the New Netherland Settlers Merge Approval System, and the "Green" destination NNS profile is protected as PPP, and the "Merge Pending" profile is now ready and able to be merged into it. I saved the data to the bios. Thanks!
