Likely duplicate profiles on Danish ancestors [closed]

Question

I think I've found some duplicate profiles for my Danish Ancestry.  The "other' profiles are from a GedCom import.  Due to patronymic naming, no doc's for the "other" profiles, lack of language skills, etc.  I would like someone with greater knowledge to look at thess and see if they are duplicates.  (There is a tree in both cases.  However for simplicity I will list just two suspected duplicates.) These are: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Larsen-2800 and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Larsen-519

 

 

 

 

Answer 1

Larsen-519 does not exist.  Could you recheck that?

Please try again.  I think there was an extra space in the link.  I replaced the link and it seems to work now.  Thanks

Yeah, those are some garbage profiles.  You are right to be wary.  I don't think I would call these duplicates.  There's not much that is the same other than Peder Larsen having a wife with a last name of Olsdatter.  They weren't born in the same year or married in the same year.  You don't have a matching daughter, Ane Katrine.

I looked at Larsen-519 descendants and tried to find any matching families on FamilySearch without success which seems unusual for that era when records are pretty good.  Unless you see the whole line fitting into your profiles, I would recommend leaving it alone.  Simple name matching is almost never a good idea with Danish profiles.

Thanks for looking.  I will close this.
