Profile: Key-2390 is connected and married to same person. Both profiles are attached to same parents. It appears that Melissa's profile lists the correct birth year and location based upon his death certificate source: https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/2272/images/40394_b061926-00442?usePUB=true&_phsrc=szL491&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&pId=23790317 Your profile lists a more appropriate death date based upon his death certificate. As Robin stated above, please look at the 1880 census record which lists his birth location as Louisiana as well as his death certificate. Perhaps contacting the other profile manager would be helpful. Thank you!
