Family talk:Ferdinand Riedel and Unknown (2)

Duplicate pages [4 December 2016]

Hello, Lskramm. There are problems with this page and what appears to be a duplicate page, Family:Ferdinand Riedel and Minna Holtzthiem (1). Without more information, such as dates and places for the latter page, as well as sources, they appear to be duplicate pages. As you may know, WeRelate is meant to avoid duplicate pages, with only one page for each individual ancestor and all people researching a particular ancestor contributing to the same page. Where duplicate pages occur, they should be merged.

These two pages cannot be merged, however, because Ferdinand appears to be both the husband and son of Minna. If you could provide more information, it would be possible to tell if this is simply an error in data entry (which does happen from time to time), or if the two Minnas and two Ferdinands are really different people. It would also be useful if you could provide sources for your information, which would allow other researchers to find the same information you are providing. Thanks, Gayel --GayelKnott 17:26, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

I made an assumption based on the narrative that it was the son who married Minna Holtzhiem and corrected accordingly.--DataAnalyst 15:33, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Do not merge this page with Family:Ferdinand Riedel and Unknown (1). The narrative says this man was married twice, with the name of neither wife given. Possibly all his children were from one wife, but I have left this the way it was in case he had children by two wives.--DataAnalyst 15:33, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
