Van der Merwe-1256 and Van der Merven-5 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate sibling profile Van_der_Merven-5 created to correct the LNAB as to what can be read on the transcription of the baptism entry, and also to add the Project profile as custodial manager to this profile. Van_der_Merven-5 needs to be the target profile to merge into. I'll do the final integration of the bio after the merge, thanks!
