Albertson-919 and Albertson-199 appear to represent the same person because: The names and dates of birth are identical as well as the name of the wife though the wives profiles also need to be merged.

Albertson-199 and Albertson-298 appear to represent the same person because: Same father, mother, and birth date. I think he is duplicated.
