Clinton-209 and Clinton-652 appear to represent the same person because: same parents, -652 is better sourced
posted by Kirk Hess
De Clinton-29 and Clinton-652 appear to represent the same person because: You need to merge De Clinton-29 into Clinton-652. The last name at birth field shouldn't have 'de' in it (i.e. it is just 'Clinton'). The 'de Clinton' belongs in the current last name field. Please merge.
