Riffel-55 and Riffel-52 appear to represent the same person because: They are clear duplicates for the same person. I have adpoted Riffel-52 and would like to merge the profiles for clarity to all who access the name of Mary Agatha Riffel. I've added my sources but will wait to add a little more data when it will be edited after the merge is done. Than you very much.
