Lyon-2114 and Lyon-545 appear to represent the same person because: I created Lyon-2114 before finding Lyon-545. Lyon -545 only listed one of Williams Children - Jacob. So when I was entering the family I purposely left Jacob off 2114 so as not to create another duplicate. This merge will make the family whole.

When I created Lyon-2114 the system did not show it as a duplicate. Later in searching I found Lyon-545. Jacob is not listed as a child of 2114 as he was already listed with the father, and I did not want to create anohter duplicate. Merging these two will make the family whole.

Lyon-2114 and Lyon-545 are not ready to be merged because: 2114 Does not mention the sibling found in 545. I believe this is probably the same person, but right now a bit more research is needed before resubmission.
