I suppose it is *technically* possible, but not at all likely. The example you gave is almost certainly incorrect.
Well spotted.

Clearly it is a typo. Both men are born on the same date, 100 years apart and are married to the same woman. I will change the date on the 'older' brother and initiate a merge of the two.

Thank you and don't ask me who made that profile,don't know.
You need to change the date on the younger brother, if anything. Besides, they are the same person. Deleting one of them is the correct answer.
