Henry Howard LYJ6-Z9P vs Henry Heyward LYJ6-Z9P

LenoreAkerson1

Family Search shows Henry Howard with the alternate name of Henry Heyward. Children listed - some show the last name as Howard and some show Heyward. Spouses shown as Elizabeth Moss LCMD-Y4L and Diana Bartlett LZXH-W5M.

In my personal data base I have Elizabeth Moss married to Henry Heyward; and Diana Bartlett married to to Henry Hayward Howard. My sources are not reliable (meaning strong).

How can we clean up this mess? I realize my data base is my problem, but FS needs to be corrected. Hoping someone has an answer.

HI

Granted these names are similar and could be or not the same person but it all comes down to sourcing and researching each person and determining whether or not they are the same person or different. Good sourcing is critical.
