Mills-6372 and Mills-847 appear to represent the same person because: The match is correct - and the naming convention is in the proper format.

maiden name is displayed, and married name is displayed as 'current' name since it is the name the person had after marriage (just like a married woman's drivers license displays her current name), as they should be for researchers who may only have the maiden name to find and make the proper connections.

Mills-2104 and Mills-847 do not represent the same person because: About this proposed merger:

my entire family tree has been entered for a decades in multiple places with women listed with their maiden names, not their “married” names. I’m not going to change that now, nor am I going to allow you to make that change to my family tree. Mills

Some women are married more than once. So which of her married names would you put in the family tree? And in this particular case, there is NO OTHER PLACE to put her maiden name, and it will be lost on my tree if there is a merger and her name is changed to her married name. No parents are listed, so her MILLS maiden name will be lost, and there will no way to ever find out about her parents or other ancestors. The MILLS name would be lost.

Please check in forums, etc. for whether it is better to use maiden names vs. married names for women. I must now reject this proposed merger based on the use of married name vs. maiden name. I have been consistent using only maiden names for 10 years, and I’m not changing now.

Mills-2104 and Mills-847 appear to represent the same person because: Fixed the obvious typo in the date of death. The fact that she has her married last name in her current last name field does not change that she has Mills as her Last Name at Birth, unless she wasn't born a Mills.

Mills-2104 and Mills-847 are not ready to be merged because: Use of married last name instead of maiden name. At least one date is very wrong, b over 1000 years.

Mills-2104 and Mills-847 appear to represent the same person because: Their husbands were just merged and these two ladies appear to be the same person as well.
