Are you sure you just want to get rid of things dependent on a match of one out of two surnames? I thought many Spanish surnames were common even when not related?
Anyway, to do it, use JOINKEYS specifying the same file for the input, with the two different key-positions (remembering that office must be first).
That still leaves you with knowing internal duplicates within the two "files".
Before going into that, can you confirm about the requirement. It seems a bit silly. It seems far more likely that a common surname in an office is not of a relative, except for distant ones. Why would you want to do this, what's the business reason?
