Oscar H. Williamson Merge
Hello. I think there are 2 different profiles of the same person that should probably be merged to provide more accuracy. Oscar H. Williamson (GQPV-68S) and (L174-R9M) appear to have the same information in sources generally. I was wondering if there's some way to merge these profiles.

Yes, it is a simple matter to merge two profiles IF they are proven to be the same person.
Currently, there are several differences in the two profiles, and the hinting algorithm will not suggest they be merged as long as those conflicts exist.
For example, Oscar GQPV-68S is listed as living with wife "I B Williamson" in the 1910 census, in Georgia while Oscar L174-R9M is living with wife Ada in Louisiana in the same census year.Any conflicts would need to be resolved before attempting a merge. I suspect that the families have been conflated.

I went and checked over some stuff. Yeah, there also appears to be some other issues, like the mother of Oscar Williamson with Ada M. LeJeune as his wife. His mother is said to be born in Florida, but her profile says it's in Georgia, as well as his name being "Oscar Howell" though every document I see on the profile simply says "Oscar Williamson," and it also appears after the death of Oscar G. Williamson's father, he was adopted by H.C. Ellis on the document. So it appears that either these are different families, now that I looked further into it. The wife of the other one, I B Williamson appears to also be from WV, where Ada was not.
