Question

Rejected Match Simonds-431 & Simonde-1 but possibly still represents same person. Research help needed.

Answer 1

Yes, http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Simonds-431 and http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Simonde-1 are clearly the same person. They shouldn't be marked as a rejected match.

You can fix this. http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Simonde-1 is an orphan, so you can adopt it. Then propose a merge of Simonde-1 into Simonds-431. You will be given an opportunity to remove the rejected match. The next screen will give you the opportunity to propose a new merge. Accept the offer, and you'll be on your way to getting these merged!
