  It is this profile: https://www.geni.com/people/Jan-van-den-Ende/6000000011435258842 and the record was https://www.myheritage.nl/research/collection-10562/nederland-huwelijksregister-burgerlijke-stand-1811-1940?action=showRecord&itemId=8242294-S&indId=externalindividual-9e8182078a485bbf555484405ad8b0be&auth=6020c6df0858186b50f4da1426478c81&callback_token=TxvO6VQ6G2n6JQ41sUbY5ZpWQypdkLXaJ89YdNhq&mrid=7d3d60c1c067f26fccc60232dbb4f00f&trn=partner_Geni&trp=profile_source

  There are still very many collections where using the source assistant does not import the data correctly, but this one is a bit different in that is does  not handle the "van den" part correctly.

  There are a number of problems with the assistant. On many collections for marriage it will import the data from the husband for the wife. And as far as I have seen it will always import the data for a child into the father instead of the child. Also death data for a partner is imported to the wrong profile. There are a number of tickets still open for those problems. It would be nice when MH fixed the problems with those collections.

  Some examples:

  Hi Job, we've already notified MyHeritage about the issue with those collections. Unfortunately, we are unable to do anything until they have a chance to look into it.
