Mizer-301 and Meiser-205 appear to represent the same person because: Assuming everyone has read the Meiser, J. A., & Mizer, L. E. (1975). A genealogy of the Meisser family (Meiser, miser, Mizar, Mizer, Myser): From the founding in America by immigrant ancestors to the present time. Meisser Genealogy Association these are the exact same one just has more information then the other

Therefore I propose 301 merge into 205. Although I should note 205 - while yes the family name is Meiser, she changes hers to Mizer
