Advice please- should I merge these two?
There are two closely matching families, Johann Balthasar Most MRS1-425 and Georg Balthasar Most MRSB-Y3H. Many children list G.B. As father, but Maria Sophia as mother. GB has no spouse listed.
Must be same person
i am finding it is easier to create two people and list all their children, then merge. The process of detaching a source from one child and reattaching it to another seems harder

I believe the two families are indeed one. I found the marriage record for Georg Balthasar Most and Maria Sophia in the Ingelfingen church records on Archion. In addition, there is a family register for this family on Archion. Here is the link, in case you have access or wish to subscribe.
On the family register, the name Johann was added before Georg Balthasar and the name Margaretha after Maria Sophia. Note that Maria Sophia died in 1789. Georg Balthasar married again the following year and had two more children.
I would first merge George Balthasar Most into Johann Balthasar. Then add Maria Sophia as a mother for Johann Georg. That should link the two families into one without having to worry about changing all the sources. Then you can fix up the names to include the full names of the parents.
The baptism record in April 1847 only shows the name Georg Balthasar for the child. However, he might have later been known as Johann Georg Balthasar.

Thanks so much for looking into those. Too many changes between Johann and Georg and I wanted to get it right.
thanks again
