ok, first of all, as much I have read a lot about the different crisis in DC history, I never really read "crisis in infinite Earth" itself, and perhaps that's the reason I don't understand this...

As I understand, in the original Crisis the multiverse was merged in a single Earth (New Earth) and AFTER that, Barry Allen sacrificed himself to save what was left of the multiverse...

Then, in rebirth, he was born (and then reset en flashpoint, but that doesn't matter for this)

My question is the following one... As he died during the original crisis, and the revived... Was he the same person as before New Earth, or was he the "new" flash after the merging of the universe?

I ask this because for example in this wikia, links of Earth One Barry Allen and pre crisis Earth One Barry Allen link to the same profile... as he was the same person... but for example, pre crisis Barry met Jay Garrick, who could never happened in after crisis New Earth (of course it could happen in Earth 0 after Infinite Crisis, when and where he revived, but that only makes this all much confusing)

Another question is, does people and characters remember the original crisis? Because it seems to be erased from the New Earth continuity as part of the reset (only Power Girl and later Donna could remember it, and the survivals of Earth 2 and 3), but so..., how do they remembered flash death fighting the anti-monitor?
