Hi Angeline and Les

It looks like we've come to a point where you both have existing profiles for the same people and they need to be merged. As a direct descendant of this line, I'm interested in helping to clean it up. I note a proposed merge was removed, yet I believe these are actually the same person. Can we discuss this please?
