Hi Nathan, thanks for identifying it.  Can you take it a step further and add at least one reliable source for this family line?  A quick look and I see that there are duplicates for several members.  Before changing her name, someone should first look at merging the duplicates.  I'll start proposing some merges . . .

Since Nathan is not pre-1500 certified, he cannot edit these profiles, but if he has sourced info he can document it on profile messages or here in G2G.
Thanks, Beryl.  

Ellen, the reason I asked Nathan to add sources (which he, or anyone, can do by providing it here or as a comment on the profile) is that since he has an interest in the family, it would be helpful to have research done and sources added.  There are very few of us with pre-1500 certification.  As such, we have a daunting task and we need the assistance of others.  Researching and providing sources is a way for people that will never be pre-1500 certified to help with these medieval profiles.

I've changed the LNAB to Unknown and completed the merge.
Sorry, Darlene. My comment was mainly for Nathan, not for you.

I was anticipating (because I have seen this happen with similar G2Gs in the past) that he would say that he could not add sources because he is not pre-1500 certified.
Thanks, Ellen.  I've received PMs from people in the past commenting that they were upset that no one mentions about people adding sources to these profiles.  People in the pre-1500 group can feel overwhelmed and we need to be sure that others are aware that they can assist -- and it is greatly appreciated when they do so!
