Frederik Simon Oosthuizen

"Frikkie". Wealthy farmer of ZWARTKRAAL. Deacon 1889, elder 1906. Built the Zeekoegat church at his own expense 1906 (inaugurated Feb 1907), the church hall 1929, and the mission church; gave the land and buildings to the congregation in 1936. Donated 150 pounds toward the Prince Albert organ in 1885, helped maintain a mission station in Mashonaland, and gave 300 Afrikaans Bibles to the children of the congregation in 1933. Buried beside the Zeekoegat church. [SRC-067]

29 Jul 2026 [SRC-073]: named for his maternal grandfather Frederik Simon MockeL.

30 Jul 2026 [SRC-068] THE SCALE OF THE WEALTH, per Judy Maguire in the Zeekoegat cameo: "Oom Frikkie was the senior family man, owned 81 000 morgen around the family farm Zwartzkraal. He also owned most of the farms from the N1 to the Traka and westwards too - Groot and Klein Sleutelfontein and Zeekoegat." 81,000 morgen is roughly 69,400 ha. Zeekoegat was still farmed by Piet du Plessis in 1891 (he identified the gold nugget, same source), so part of the buying falls in the 1890s-1900s - the rinderpest/war/drought decade. WHERE THE MONEY CAME FROM: LEAD-0012. || 30 Jul 2026 THE 1937 RHEMHOOGTE TRANSFERS ARE PROBABLY HIS ESTATE DIVISION: he died 10 Oct 1936; on 20.12.1937 his son Ernest Albert (PER-000424, deed 13525, Annex Modderdrift PAR-000069) and his daughter Anna Margaretha (PER-000176, deed 13528, Kareemoerhoek PAR-000070) each took a Rhemhoogte portion ON THE SAME DAY - 14 months after his death, classic estate-administration timing. Implies FSO himself held Rhemhoogte ground late in life, acquired somewhere after his brother John Peter's deed 341 of 1884 - a gap in the chain [TO VERIFY: the transferor named in deeds 13525/13528].

30 Jul 2026 [FS]: FamilySearch GH8R-G1Q, 1856-1936, with portrait photograph.

30 Jul 2026 [SRC-126/DOC-0086] Listed fourth among the five surviving children on his father's 1903 death notice.

[1 Aug 2026, SRC-068 Zeekoegat cameo] THE EXTENT OF THE HOLDING, from Judy Maguire: about 81,000 MORGEN around the family farm Zwartskraal, and "most of the farms from the N1 to the Traka and westwards too". Groot and Klein Sleutelfontein (PAR-000098) and Zeekoegat. A large community grew up on Zeekoegat and that, as much as the distances, is why he built the church. He was fond of children: he bought 300 copies of the new Afrikaans Bible in 1933 for the local children, and every year he held a WATERMELON FESTIVAL in the forest on Zeekoegat to which every child in the district was invited. *** NAME WARNING, and it is Maguire's own: THERE WERE TWO MEN NAMED FREDERIK SIMON. This one is "the senior family man". Any Frederik Simon OosthuizenH fact from this district must be tested against dates and ground before it is attached here, see 9. ***

[GRAVE GRV-0002, 7 Aug 2026] HIS STONE SAYS 29 MAY, THE TREE SAYS 19 MAY, AND THE STONE IS ADOPTED. 'IN LIEFDEVOLLE HERINNERING AAN ONS LIEWE VADER FREDERICK SIMON OOSTHUIZEN, GEB. 29ste MEI 1856, OORL. 10de OKTOBER 1936, IN DIE OUDERDOM VAN 80 JAAR', with GOD IS LIEFDE cut on the base. The death date matches this row exactly, which is what identifies the stone. birth_edtf was 1856-05-19, taken from the private tree (, '19 May 1856'); FamilySearch gives years only. A 9 and a 1 transposed is the ordinary shape of this error, and a stone his children paid for and read before it was cut is the better witness than a compiled tree. THE AGE ON THE STONE DOES NOT SETTLE IT - 80 years is true either way. The tree's date is kept here rather than overwritten. [TO VERIFY] against a baptism register, which would end it.

*** [22 Aug 2026] FRIKKIE WAS TOKKIE'S MOTHER'S FATHER - two steps. *** Frederik Simon 'Frikkie' Oosthuizen (PER-000006, 1856-1936) -> his daughter Anna Margaretha OosthuizenH (PER-000176, 1879-1973) -> her son Gert Annis Oosthuizen MarincowitzM 'Tokkie' (PER-000007, 1919-2003). That is why Tokkie carries OOSTHUIZEN as a given name: it is his mother's maiden surname, in the ordinary Cape way.

*** AND THE TIE IS DOUBLED, THROUGH TWO BROTHERS. *** Tokkie's FATHER, Gert Jan Oosthuizen MarincowitzL (PER-000023, 1875-1952), carries the same surname as a given name for the same reason: HIS mother was Catharina Maria OosthuizenL (PER-000022, b.1846), daughter of GERT ADRIAAN OOSTHUIZEN (PER-000127, 1820-1879). Frikkie's own father was JACOBUS DANIEL JOHANNES OOSTHUIZEN (PER-000004, 1823-1903). Gert Adriaan and Jacobus Daniel Johannes are BOTH sons of Ockert Almero OosthuizenL and Adriana Cecilia VenterM.

So BOTH of Tokkie's parents descend from Ockert Almero and Adriana Cecilia, by two different sons, and he is their great-great-grandson twice over. This is the pedigree collapse 9 warns about, in one person - and it is the reason the Marincowitz name arrives on this ground already carrying Oosthuizen inside it.

*** [28 Aug 2026] THE 1937 TRANSFERS, AND WHAT THEY DO NOT SHOW. *** This row holds NO ownership of its own - not one deed in this project is in his name. On 20 DECEMBER 1937, fourteen months after his death, four freshly surveyed portions off three parent farms went to two of his children on two deeds: Rhemhoogte No. 125 Ptn 3 ANNEX MODDERDRIFT to Ernest Albert (OWN-000061, deed 13525); and on deed 13528, Rhemhoogte No. 125 Ptn 4 KAREEMOERHOEK, Groot Sluitel Fontein No. 126 Ptn 1 NOORSDORINGKOP and Klein Sleutlefontein No. 127 Ptn 1 KLEINBOTTERKRAAL to Anna Margaretha. *** THAT DAY CANNOT BE READ BACKWARDS INTO A LANDHOLDING. *** KAREEMOERHOEK WAS NOT HIS: OWN-000062 has it with his brother JOHN PETER OOSTHUIZEN (PER-000455) from 25 January 1884, and John Peter was alive until 1955. That transfer is a living man giving ground to his niece, not an estate draining. The three parent farms carry other grantees too - Rhemhoogte to Abel Albertus OosthuizenM in 1879, Groot Sluitel Fontein to Aletta Catharina RouxM in 1862. So the day shows GROUND MOVING BETWEEN OOSTHUIZEN HANDS and does not show what he held. That is exactly what STO-0020 already said. Reading the story first would have settled it, which is what crosscheck.py exists to prevent. His MASTER'S ESTATE FILE is still the one document that would settle it: LEAD-0012 and LEAD-0328.
