Bond-2646 and Bond-2557 appear to represent the same person because: Both profiles represent the same person and need to be merged.

' Saartjie Hendrickse Bond van der Mark (Bond-2646) is the equivalent of the English Sara...her husband was "van der Mark" (with variations) according to KRDC records. The name was not concatenated yet to "Vandermark", a more modern name form.

Kuykendall family sites don't list the Van. So concur, let's drop it.

Before merging, confirm what the LNAB should be. Elsewhere I've seen that "van" should be excluded, but I've also seen resistance to that policy.
