Hello, I have information that this individual was born 1656, Hees, Ruinen, De Wolden, Drenthe, Netherlands and

died Oct 1735, Flatlands, Kings County (Brooklyn), New York, USA. Would you be able to look into that?

Is this merge going to take place? According to www.vanvoorhees.org they are one in the same person, listed as Albert Stevense Van Voorhees.
Van Voorhees-52 and Stephensz-2 are not ready to be merged because: Setting these as a match, a g2g will be started shortly.

Van Voorhees-52 and Stephensz-2 appear to represent the same person because: Hello, this is the same person, with the same wife, who has now been merged and a known daughter. Merging into "Stephensz" as it's the first name that appears in church records for him and he never used any variation of van Voorhees. Thank you!
