Can someone clean up duplicate entries in the Tree, if appropriate, for Michael Frich?

There are four entries for Michael Frick/Frich/Frikh, all are married to the same woman, Anna Gstater/Gsteter(in). Some of the entries have one son attached or one daughter, none have both.

97DM-MYD, 97D3-7M1, 97BY-KZ1,97BY-5MW

The daughter is Catharina. The son is Josephus Antonius. The baptism records support Catharina and Josephus as being siblings.

There is a marriage record for Michael Frickh and Anna Maria Gstetter on 12 May 1707 in Schaan. And there are duplicates for her also in the tree.

There are baptism records for two more children: Anna Maria born 26 May 1708 and Anna Maria born 07 Nov 1711.

This all looks to me to be the same family. So duplicates would be confusing and not helpful.

These are Liechtenstein records. No images available. There are some slight variations in the names, most likely due to these records being Catholic and therefore in Latin. (I posted a question earlier this evening about the use of the "in" extension in the surnames of women.) As I remember it, the "in" is not part of the surname, but rather an indication of the person being female. And as is easily seen in the Liechtenstein records on Family Search, the names are more often than not transcribed without the "in."

I have never worked in the Tree and wouldn't feel comfortable verifying/attempting this.

Thank you.

Merging can sometimes be confusing to those who do not do it on a daily or routine basis. I found this blog that may help you merge these duplicate people. If more help is wanted, please feel free to reach out. I help people with this every day as a FamilySearch missionary.
