Are Aaron Grant (Grant-15576), and Aaron Grant (Grant-20542) the same person?

Question

I adopted this orphaned profile recently.  Family Search has two birth certificates for Aaron Grant - one for 1774, and one for 1779.  Of course there is a profile for each one.  Both are from a handwritten birth register for the children.  The 1774 is correct.  I would like some assistance merging, please.  Thanks.  Char

Char, I just looked at the two profiles and proposed the merge.  You will receive email notice of it because you are manager of one of them.  If you and the other manager approve the merge, then it will happen, otherwise if neither of you rejects the merge, in 30 days it will automatically receive default approval, after which any WikiTree member can complete it.

Good catch - thanks for finding it.

EDITED TO ADD
By the way, you will receive another email notice when the merge is completed, but if you have to wait for the 30 day default approval, you will not receive notice of that, so you'll have to check it to see if the merge can be completed.  Also, if any changes are made to either profile from now on, it resets that 30 day clock to start over.

The 1774 date seems to be the correct one as it is written.  The 1779 date may conflict with siblings and their birthdates.
