Smith-45263 and Smith-2576 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate, same husband, death year, etc.

I believe it's very unlikely that (K)Catherine is not the daughter of Richard Smith. See the following five references.

Page 83 Excerpt ...heirs among whom were the children of his daughter Catherine Smith the deceased wife of Gysbert Opdyck.

Also: I still can find a connection to Richard Smith-8962 3rd Great-Grandfather, Gascoigne-24: even though there is a direct break now to , his dau Katherine Smith-2576.

Need to disconnect her from Richard Smith, he could not be her father, check dates

Smith-2576 and Smith-54692 appear to represent the same person because: The marriage entry shows she was Catherine Smit from England

1643 24 Sep; Gysbert op dyck, jm van Wessel; Catharina Smit, jd Uyt Oudt Engelt http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rbillard/na_marriages_1639-1801.htm

Smith-54692 and Smith-2576 are not ready to be merged because:

Hi I have set them as unmerged match because the now different mothers need to be looked at first , so when that is solved they can be merged ...same husbands and names, small difference in Birthdates, but that can be solved when a source for her Birth can be found and added . Thanks !
