DeWitt-1109 and Dewitt-130 appear to represent the same person because: Both profiles represent the same person, the second child named Andries (2).

Destination should be DeWitt-130 (the older profile). Name should be de Wit or de Witt to conform to LNAB of father. DeWitt-130 currently contains a mix of two separate Andries', brothers, that should be corrected, by creation of Andries (1)

This profile's bio. appears to have a mix of information for Andries de Wit (1) b. 25 APR 1697, and Andries de Wit (2), b. February 20, 1704.

Should be merged with DeWitt-1109, destination DeWitt-130.

A separate de Wit (1) profile is needed.
