go to the bottom of the newest profile you will see an intiate merge link. click that and you can add the id number for the older profile to merge with. you can choose compare, make sure they are the ones you want to merge, than chose intiate merge at the top of the side by side screen. it should bring you to another screen check to be sure everything is correct and then the complete merge at the bottom of the screen.

.... and please get into the habit of tidying the profile afterwards, delete any of the duplicate data that will be there from the two profiles, and perhaps start writing a proper story of the persons life.
