Stugis-1 and Sturgis-3 appear to represent the same person because: LNAB was Sturgis, not Stugis. Otherwise, the two profiles represent the same person according to date of birth and name of husband.

Sturgis-153 and Sturgis-415 appear to represent the same person because: According to sources such as Mayflower Births & Deaths and North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000, Hannah Sturgis's husband John spelled his last name with two t's (Matthews, rather than Mathews). This has caused duplicate records to be created for both him and his wife Hannah. Sturgis-153 and Sturgis-415 should be merged into a single record.
