Allden-3 and Alden-760 are not ready to be merged because: I would like to research this again. I'm inclined to believe this is the same person but lets delay it for a bit. Thanks Rosemary

Date listed here is baptismal date, I recommend proceeding with merge as the two profiles surely represent the same individual. A note could be added to indicate that the birth date is approximate.
