Kevin Key

Walker-49804 and Walker-19211 appear to represent the same person because: Dates are the same. I accidentally created an unsourced duplicate

The parents' confirmed with DNA relationship status indicators were removed because the DNA confirmations are not cited (DB errors 213 & 313).

Please see this article for more information and guidance on how to provide the proper source documentation when confirming genealogy with DNA on WikiTree.

Thank you.

John Kingman, Volunteer Data Doctor with the DNA Project

P.S., As it states in the Help for Confirmed with DNA:

"If there isn't a proper source citation the "Confirmed with DNA" relationship status should be removed (by you or another member)."
