Heinrich Ludwig Schwartz-18 and Heinrich Ludwig Schwartz-2395 should be merged because they are the same person. They are the same person on the Bertannia of London 21 September 1731. They are with the same family. There is only one Heinrich standing next to Georg his brother. They even took the oath together on the same day around the same time. Loretta Black or Schwartz.
P.S. I actually heard about this from a family member that I do not even know. This is a mistake affecting many family members and should be corrected.
