Mac Niall-2 and Niall-3 do not represent the same person because: different years
Oirdnide-1 and Niall-3 appear to represent the same person because: merge can proceed
posted by Summer (Binkley) Orman
Niall-3 and Oirdnide-1 do not represent the same person because: Please reverse the merge direction. Oirdnide is not a LNAB, it is a nickname/identifier. The naming conventions at this time were MacFathername. MacNiall is correct.
