Dunn-14079 and Dunn-4717 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles are duplicates. Same name, same dates, same parents. Not sure why I didn't spot the existing profile before I created mine. If you'll approve the match, I'm happy to do the merging. Thanks so much for your help with this.
