Sheffield-1911 and Sheffield-1777 do not represent the same person because: Due to the large number of merges at have received recently, I am rejecting until I have time to look over the profiles, changes made to them , etc because changes have been being made to profiles to MAKE them match and thankfully I have caught this on some profiles and fixed the HUGE mess that was created by merging and/or attempting to merge as well as connect the wrong people. Please be patient as I got through the pending/rejected merges. Thank you.
