Muriella is my 19th Great Grandmother.
Keith-258 and Keith-228 do not represent the same person because: Keith-228 is the daughter of Robert Unknown and Muriel Keith-228

Keith-258 is the daughter of Sir William Keith and Margaret Fraser.

Muriel Keith-258 lived 1351 to 1449. Muriel Keith-228 lived 1336 to 1357.

Different life spans and different parents = NOT a match. Also, Keith-228 was created as the daughter of Keith-228 -- see Change tab.

IF the purpose of the merge is to merge away Keith-228 it should be stated in the merge proposal but I don't see the proposal in the comment box. It would be better to connect Keith-228 to Robert Stewart and Muriel Keith-258 as their DAUGHTER - IF indeed they had a daughter Muriel.
