Layer-53 and Layer-6 appear to represent the same person because: same name - same child - each profile originally uploaded in gedcoms with a number of Gooch profiles, most of which have been merged now.
Layer-53 and Layer-6 do not represent the same person because: The only thing these two have in common is the LNAB, the last name of husband, and the first name of son. Although they may be the same, there is no evidence.
