Koppenhoefer-8 and Koppenhaver-2 appear to represent the same person because: Even though the birth years are different, these are duplicates. Merge into Koppenhaver-2 and keep everything from that profile, which has sources.

Would you please merge Copenhaver-63 with Koppenhefer-2. They seem to be the same person other than the date of birth on Koppenhefer-2, however, Copenhaver-63 has sources for dob. Same parents, same place of birth, same brothers and sisters which need to be investigated and merged, same husband except Koppenhefer-2. Other last names need to be added to catch duplicates.

Thank You! Brown-44556

The Different spellings of the last name seem to be causing the problems of the duplicates. These different spellings need to be added to the profile. Same parents, siblings, etc.
