Van der Sande-2 and Van der Sande-10 appear to represent the same person because: Same data (name, spouse etc.) van_der_Sande-10 has the correct spelling of the LNAB (lower case suffixes [tussenvoegsel klein gespel]) and should be the target profile to merge into even though it has the higher number.
Johan, please comply with the spelling of the LNAB (last names at baptism) according to the Dutch, Huguenot and South African convention - lower case 'v'and 'd' for van der (and other suffixes). It will help enormously in keeping the immense amount of work in this project down to a minimum.
