Poore-351 and Smith-60443 appear to represent the same person because: they have the same birth and parental information. I don't know why Josiah's name at birth might have been Poore rather than Smith, but these two seem to be the same Josiah. Please compare and merge Poore-351 into Smith-60443 if you agree they are two profiles for the same person. Thank you. Kitty Cooper-1 Smith
