I have repropoposed the merge with some explaing about the LNAB,(see merge proposal PPP profile)
Hope it helps and greets from the Netherlands,

Hi,
These are the same and they can be merged.
And noticing the posts about the LNAB and if it was Roosa or Rosa and to explain it a bit more, for New Netherland Settlers, the LNAB is determined by looking at the earliest record of a person and how the last name (of the parent/father) was written in this record, for Claas there's a baptism record (see source) and the last name was written as Rosa, so that's the correct LNAB and that's why the Rosa profile is PPP't, so all duplicates are merged into the PPP profile. If other records show variants of the last name those variants are added as other last name or, if someone used one of those variants pretty consistent and in the last record, that version can be added to the current last name field.
Hope it explains things a bit more and many thanks in advance,
Greets from the Netherlands, Bea :)
Claas Roosa Roosa-514 and Nicholas Rosa Rosa-303 have been marked as Unmerged Matches for now, they are the same and have to be merged, but duplicate mothers first have to be merged and when they are merged these can be merged as well.
Greets and many thanks for the help in advance,
Bea :)

I added: "This sources validates the "Roosa" name variant as legitimate. "De Herwijnse Ro(o)sas en de herkomst van hun familienaam door Engel Roza" or "The Herwijnse Ro (o) sa and the origin of their family name by Engel Roza" "[1] " This was fun. Thanks Em! What do you think? Tammy
