Remmet Tromp is at times documented to be "Remmert". However, the death certificate, which I added to the profile on August 30, 2021, spells the first name without the second "r". It also lists all 4 spouses, including Grietje Nool. I would like to merge these profiles.

There are several profiles with the name Remmet Tromp, I don't know which link is the correct one (the date of birth would be Jan. 30, 1811):
* Remmet Tromp
* Remmet Tromp
* Remmet Tromp
* Remmet Tromp

Please let me know of any sources which would indicate that merging these profiles is not appropriate. Both have the same birth date and the same spouse.

I have learned a better way to link to profiles within geni.com. I have been very involved in working with Remmet Tromp who is my second great grandfather. He had 4 wives and many children. In the records, he is sometimes referred to as Remmert. I have added in the Also Known As field. I have used Remmet as the main name for two reasons: his death record names Remmet; and his maternal grandfather was Remmet Stolp

There are two other profiles for this individual on geni.com. Both have the first name listed as Remmert.

Remmet Tromp was added with a relationship to his second wife and lists his son, Pieter, and his wives. This tree will be easy to merge there are few members.

Remmet Tromp was added with a relationship to his first wife. It lists a daughter and her descendants. This tree should also be easy to merge because the daughter has not been added to the tree that I have been maintaining.

I have contacted the managers of both the Remmert Tromps that I found in geni.com and asked them to consider merging with the Remmet Tromp (b. 1811) that I have linked to at the beginning of this message.

I will wait another week or two for their reply.

Regards,

Marianne
