	Are you sure they are both for the same person? You know how families like to re-cycle names, or the 2nd son is always named after the grandfather sort of thing? Are any of the details the same? If the 1923 copy was transcibed at that time, I'm wondering if who ever did it, copied the wrong record from the PR book.
