Delamater-16 and Delamater-10 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest paternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge. No tree conflicts. These matches have been reviewed by the New Netherland Settlers Merge Approval System, and the "Green" destination NNS profile is protected as PPP, and the "Merge Pending" profile is now ready and able to be merged into it. I saved the data to the bios. Thanks!

Delamater-16 and Delamater-10 appear to represent the same person because: Dates match. Same parents, same spouses. Abraham's name is doubled in the list of children for Claude le Maistre and Hester Du Bois.
