Ireland-1445 Kevin Ireland
McCool-17 and Sanford-6537 appear to represent the same person because: Mildred (Sanford) McCool Kelsey is the same person as Mildred Sanford (McCool) Kelsey. Her birthname was Sanford, not McCool. The only way to change a birth surname is to create a new profile (as I have done) and then merge the two.

After Mildred's 1936 divorce from McCool, she married Phil Kelsey about Jul 1945 in Iowa.
