Farmer-2900 and Farmer-2633 appear to represent the same person because: they have the same spouse, and in other respects appear to be the same person. Even in the profile for Martin, it says his name is often cited as Marlin.

Farmer-4504 and Farmer-2633 appear to represent the same person because: Records indicate the same marriage date, place, spouse and son for both Marlin Farmer (Farmer-4504) and "Martin" Farmer (Farmer-2633). Multiple records indicate Marlin is the correct first name. "Martin" may have been simply a spelling error during data entry.
