Hi Esme if the names are the same how are we going to proof the surname Salters from the other profile?

i would suggest that we posepone until we get more proof ?

Hi Frederik

I am which 2 profiles you are referring to.

The merge between Fourie-509 and Fourie-1 was completed on 27 Dec 2015 :

Ian McArthur edited the data for Gertruida (Fourie) Helmand (abt.1834-1879). (Merged Fourie-509 into Fourie-1: Clear duplicate.)

Fourie-509 and Fourie-1 appear to represent the same person because: Same data.
Fourie-1508 and Fourie-1 appear to represent the same person because: Gertruida Fourie first married James Foord (1802-1864) on 27 Dec 1852. He already had eight children with his first wife, who died in 1846. Gertruida had six children with him during the years 1853 to 1863. After his death in 1864 she married Joseph Helman/Hellman/Helmand (in 1865) and had eight children with him. After her death JJH married Jeanetta Buitendag and had one child with her.

Kind regards Ian McArthur
