How can you say these two entries are the same? Johanna Maria Schampers born 2/8/1884 died 12/23/1974 Anna Schampers born 2/8/1884 died 12/23/1974
With two different first and middle names I would even say that they were two different people. Just because they both were born and died on the same dates, does NOT make them the same person.
