Van Zyl-775 and Van Zijl-516 appear to represent the same person because: Same child

Variation in spelling of Last Name at Birth to be added to the Other Last Name field until a primary source can be added

Van Zyl-1521 and Van Zijl-516 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate. Van_Zijl-516 already existed. I'll do the final integration of the bio after the merge, thanks!
