Burhans-88 and Burhans-41 appear to represent the same person because: Same person. They can be merged now because both profiles now have the same parents.
Burhans-88 and Burhans-41 appear to represent the same person because: Same person. I've corrected the error in the parents for Burhans-88, so the profiles are ready to merge. Burhans-41 is the lower-numbered profile, so it is the appropriate merge destination.
Burhans-88 and Burhans-41 are the same person, but the profiles had different parents. Both profiles cite the same source, and that source shows that this Johannes is the son of Johannes Burhans, not his brother Barent. I determined that this profile originally showed Johannes Burhans and Margriet Legg as parents, consistent with the source. I have restored the correct parents and will propose a merge.
