Stanley-11166 and Stanley-3415 appear to represent the same person because: Stanley-3415 and are the same person. Date of birth is identical and spouse is identical. 3415 was created working from youngest ancestor to oldest. I created Stanley-11166 working from oldest to youngest and didn't encounter 3415 until searching for his wife.
