Koppenhauver-16 and Koppenhaver-3 appear to represent the same person because: potential duplicate
posted by Manuela Thiele
Koppenhaver-3 and Koppenhoefer-11 appear to represent the same person because: Definitely the same person. Choice of LNAB is difficult. Koppenhoefer is probably preferred as it is closer to the German family name. Duplicate profiles for the wives also exist. I will propose merges.
posted by Michael Schell
When attempting to complete the merge Heinrich Copenhaver (Koppenheffer-7) and Henry Copenhaver (Koppenhaver-3) this warning was encounter.

Do not complete this merge unless Koppenhaver is the correct Last Name at Birth. If Koppenheffer is correct, click here to reverse the merge. If neither is correct, change the Last Name at Birth on Koppenhaver-3 before doing the merge. If you have found multiple duplicates with different last names, identify the final WikiTree ID before doing any merges.

Would you please resolve the Last Name at Birth so the merge can be completed.

Koppenheffer-7 and Koppenhaver-3 appear to represent the same person because: Please mergen Koppenheffer-7 and Koppenhaver-3 NO PROFILE MGR together. They are the same individual. Same parents, siblings, place of birth one has Berks Co other has Lancaster Co. but same Township and State. Same DNA subjects and Koppenheffer-7 has wife where -3 does not. Other last names needs to be added to catch duplicates.

Thank You, Brown-44556
