Research notes

[SRC-068] Rev Freddie Marincowitz (1921-2008), grandson of Frederik Simon OosthuizenM. Took the 1984 monument-unveiling service and the 2007 centenary service. Brother of Pat Marincowitz.

[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000543 into this row. PROVEN DUPLICATE, resolved on the FamilySearch id. Both rows carry GHFD-LQX; an FS id names one person, so these are one person recorded twice. Created by the 31 Jul 2026 one-degree tree pull, which matched on tree id alone - and 255 model people carry no tree id, so any of them one hop from a tree-linked person was added again. Survivor is the pre-existing row; it carries the prose, sources and land links. Moved across: tree id=. Dates sharpened from the merged row: birth_edtf 1921 -> 1921-01-02; death_edtf 2008 -> 2008-05-07. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'ds Freddie S MarincowitzH', PER-000543 said 'Frederick Simon Martincowitz'.

These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.
