Thurston-2886 and Thurston-744 appear to represent the same person because: The profile for Thurston-2886 was largely unsourced, but tracing back through his children to his gg granddaughters who were sourced, I determined the correct birth date and place for Thomas. This revealed a duplicate profile with Thurston-744. His son Daniel is also a duplicate.

Jane, I approve the merge if my profile remains. I did a lot of work on this profile in 2013.

Hi Nancy,

Yes, the information from your profile would remain. It is nicely done. In fact, you are welcome to handle the merge after you approve it. I just wanted to eliminate the extra Thurston's that have come up as I try to research my family tree. Jane
