Gerritse-22 and Van Wagenen-103 are not ready to be merged because: Before merging, we need to identify the appropriate LNAB and get it project-protected. I believe that Gerritse is the appropriate LNAB because her baptism record shows that her parents were using patronymic names, so she would have had a patronymic name at birth. Later records record her name as van Wagenen, so that is probably her Current Last Name. Dutch women of that era generally didn't use their husband's names.

Gerritse-22 and Van Wagenen-103 appear to represent the same person because: These aren't ready, but need to be straightened out. I don't have information that Gerritse was her maiden name.
