Advice before merging these pre-1700 Nilsson-Nilsson Modig profiles?

45 views

Nilsson_Modig-1 is a duplicate of Nilsson-13142 (side-by-side comparison) so they should be merged.

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding?

Or perhaps someone with more WikiTree experience would like to complete the merge? Let me know if you do. Thanks!

Well, the "style guide" you should know about is that the merge should go into Nilsson-13142 because that must be the Last Name he had at Birth. Modig is probably a soldier name which he got later in life. This could be made clearer in the bio - I assume the published source on the Nilsson profile says he was a soldier?
