I have an unsourced family tree handed to me by a cousin, and it indicates that Andries van der Merwe [Van_der_Merwe-7404] was a child of Carol Nicolaas van der Merwe, born 1771 and Johanna Venter, born 1774. That information matches this profile, so I think [Van_der_Merwe-7404] should be added as a child for this couple.

SUMMARY: Carel Nicolaas van der Merwe [Van_der_Merwe-3008] and Carel Nicolaas van der Merwe [Van_der_Merwe-1761] are the same person, but only [Van_der_Merwe-1761] shows both parents correctly. [Van_der_Merwe-3008] has an incorrect father.

The profile of [Van_der_Merwe-3008] (with the associated children) should be merged into [Van_der_Merwe-1761].

DETAIL: This Carel Nicolaas van der Merwe [Van_der_Merwe-3008] is connected to the correct mother, Sophia van der Merwe [Van_der_Merwe-2029]. Sophia van der Merwe was married to Pieter van der Merwe [Van_der_Merwe-2104], who is the correct father of Carel Nicolaas van der Merwe [Van_der_Merwe-3008]. The September 1771 baptism record of Carel Nicolaas van der Merwe confirms his correct parents (see entry #52): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSV8-WT22?i=242&cat=993682

This Carel Nicolaas van der Merwe [Van_der_Merwe-3008] is connected to the wrong father. The (incorrect) father currently linked, Petrus van der Merwe [Van_der_Merwe-1012] died in 1834 and his death record does not name Carel Nicolaas as his child. The two wives recorded on the profile of Petrus van der Merwe [Van_der_Merwe-1012] are correct, and do not include Sophia van der Merwe [Van_der_Merwe-2029] as they were not married.

Van der Merwe-1761 and Van der Merwe-3743 appear to represent the same person because: dups with same grandfather and same father and same son

Van der Merwe-3008 and Van der Merwe-1761 do not represent the same person because: This children dont have the same parents. Need more research, I think the DOB on Van_der_Merwe-3008 is incorrect.
Van der Merwe-3008 and Van der Merwe-1761 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate
