The Celtic Rebel (Richard) (the_celtic_rebel) There are 2 authors listed as Jill K. Garrett (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) and Jill Knight Garrett (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...#).

These people are both the same person. She used both names when writing. I have entered a bio and photo of her on the Jill Knight Garrett page, but as a new librarian I do not know how to combine these two pages.

Any help is very much appreciated.

The Celtic Rebel (Richard) (the_celtic_rebel) lethe, That is the same person too. As you said the other one must have already been merged.

You mean she used both Jill K. and Jill Knight? In Worldcat I only see Jill K. Garrett listed under "responsibility" so far.


The Celtic Rebel (Richard) (the_celtic_rebel) I have several books by her. On some she used Jill K. Garrett and some she used Jill Knight Garrett.

For instance in the Tennessee State Library they call her collection the Jill Knight Garrett Collection. Books like Maury County, Tennessee Will Books, A History of Humphreys County (Tennessee), Dickson County, Tennessee Handbook, A History of Lauderdale County, Alabama and several others are listed as Jill Knight Garrett on the covers.

War of 1812 Soldiers in Maury County and The Civil War in Maury County, Tennessee all show Jill K. Garrett on the covers.

lethe | 16359 comments It is possible that she differentiated between genres by publishing the war books under Jill K. and the other history books under Jill Knight. But since the books on the Jill K. Garrett profile had already been moved to the Jill Knight Garrett profile and that is also the fuller name, I merged Jill K. into that.


The Celtic Rebel (Richard) (the_celtic_rebel) Thanks Lethe.
