Others of the same name
Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.

Open questions

Who are the two women on the negative of 4 December 1925?
priority 1 · LEAD-0209
A strip of negatives inscribed "P.A. Dec. 4, 1925" holds at least three frames: two women in a garden, an old woman feeding fowls in a farmyard, and a third Frans has shown but not yet filed. Who is the old woman, and who is the younger one standing behind her?
What would settle it A frame from the same strip that carries a name, or a second photograph of Lettie Hitge after 1920 to compare a face against.

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.
