duplicate person
I am new here and I have a fact that I don't know if I should even try to fix!!
LT6L-RFL AND LTJX-58M are the same person
LT6L-RFL Has the correct birth date.
It shows his parents as Damase Belanger/Georgiana Modeste Pelletier. KNH5-Z21/K2MN-K57.
Same parents as next person.
LTJX-58M has the wrong birth date. LTJX-58M is my grandfather. FamilySearch shows him married to Parmella Gagnon AND Mary Mulhern. He did marry Parmella Gagnon but he was NEVER married to Mary Mulhern (KV1F-DLW). It also shows his birth was 26 Nov 1868 but it was 26 October 1868.
It shows his parents as Damase Belanger/Georgiana Modeste Pelletier. KNH5-Z21/K2MN-K57.
Same parents as former person.

Take it slow as you are learning and take heart in the fact that everything is logged in the ChangeLog (down the right side of a profile), so you can undo anything that may not have been quite what you intended.
And, someone here is usually happy to help, step-by-step, if you need it.

@James Belanger Looks like the problem stems from two 'versions' of daughter Marie/Mary Rose. I'll take stab at sorting it…

I don't see where Marie/Mary Rose comes in. You must be answering a different question.

@James Belanger From what I've been able to figure out, I think the 'problem' arises from an birth index record for one of the daughters, Marie Rose Alexina Belanger [which I initially confused with Mary Rose Ann, they are two different children]
Without being able to see the index it's hard to say where Mary Mulhern slipped in there. I've left the 'connection' as not being able to see what's happening for sure I don't want to just cut her loose
As far as his date of birth, the one used on FindaGrave appears to have come from 'back - calculating' the date from his death info. What you've attached is the 'real deal'…
