Woertman-112 and Woertman-83 appear to represent the same person because: All vitals match. Same grave. Son Joseph is also seemingly duplicate.
posted by Jeff Ikeler
That last son John born in 1758 seems wrong
Woertman-83 and Workman-4102 appear to represent the same person because: The original profile was not suggested to me because I don't use the Woertman name in my personal tree for another 2 generations back. I just made the new profile and it is without question the same man
posted on Workman-4102 (merged) by Kathy (Thomas) Sexton
Workman-197 and Workman-2047 appear to represent the same person because: newly created dup. Please merge
posted by Beryl Meehan
Workman-1927 and Workman-197 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse and child

Difference in dates to be noted in the biography until a source can be added.

Woertman-5 and Workman-197 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest paternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge into the NNS PPP. No tree conflicts. Thanks!

Workman-298 and Workman-197 are not ready to be merged because: The New Netherland Project is still working on processing through matches on several generations of ancestors on this line. Please be patient while we work through up to this generation. Please leae these and siblings, etc. as Unmerged Matches.

Workman-298 and Workman-197 appear to represent the same person because: same person, dates, spouse...please merge per wikitree terms of one profile per person.

Workman-298 and Workman-197 are not ready to be merged because: This merge is not ready yet. There are multiple generations of ancestors going back a century that are still being carefully compared and merged through the New Netherlands Settlers project. But this proifle and matching parents, etc. can remain as Unmerged Match for the time being. Thanks for patience!
