Doucet-560 and Doucet-2 are not ready to be merged because: Dates of birth and death are close, but need further investigation.

Doucet-560 appears to represent the same person - assuming that this Rene (Doucet-2) is indeed Rene Pierre Doucet (b1678):

1678 Census says 3 m(?) old boy; 1686 Census says 8yr boy (Pierre); 1693 Census says 13 yr(?) Rene; 1698 Census says 18yr Rene.
