Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The current profile documents alias Reynolds, Harry; the alias data is attached to the same controlled identity. The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved.
