Morton-5040 and Morton-3378 appear to represent the same person because: They are the same person but one has wrong father.

Morton-5040 and Morton-3378 appear to represent the same person because: Morton-3378 has the wrong father--the one named was five years old when she was born. Otherwise, these profiles match pretty well.
