Open questions

• Andries Petrus and Andrew Peter Marincowitz, one man on two FamilySearch profiles? priority 2 · LEAD-0038

  PER-000206 'Andries Petrus MarincowitzH' and PER-000602 'Andrew Peter MarincowitzH' share a birth date of 21 March 1888 and the same parents, and the names are the Afrikaans and English forms of each other. But they carry DIFFERENT FamilySearch ids - GYXY-DKQ and GFQC-81T. Are they one man with two profiles on FamilySearch?

  What would settle it A baptism entry, or either profile citing a source the other also cites.
