Wood-56751 and Wood-55607 appear to represent the same person because: Hi Nicholas, first I wanted to thank you very much for all the work you're doing! I have been passively working on adding every member of the Aztec Club of 1847 and see you've added several profiles, which I very much appreciate. Sorry that I didn't see you already had a profile for Thomas John Wood. Best, Kenny
