Research notes
[SRC-073] Youngest child of Ockert Almero and Adriana Cecilia. The tree names him Hendrik Johannes; Pottas has Johannes Hendrik [TO VERIFY]. Nothing further known - one of Pottas's three open questions from 2005, still open.
29 Jul 2026 FamilySearch G6GF-98B names him Johannes Hendrikus and dates his birth 1835, against Pottas c.1840 and the family-tree c.1841 [TO VERIFY].
29 Jul 2026 [SRC-077] SETTLED: the death notice names him HENDRIK JOHANNES, matching the family-tree. Pottas had the names reversed. Corrected.
[24 Aug 2026] His mother's notice (SRC-580) lists him among children who are ALL MEERDERJARIG in March 1858, so he was born by about March 1837 - the 1840~ here is wrong by three or more years, and he is NOT the youngest child; Ockert Almero (PER-000133, b 1839) was. The notice also writes JOHANNES HENDRIK, settling this row's old [TO VERIFY] in Pottas's favour on the order. Birth left as the tree wrote it pending a register; the bound lives in this note.
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.
Open questions
-
Nine people carry a different FamilySearch id here and in the tree
priority 2 · LEAD-0036
For nine people the model records one FamilySearch id and the family-tree's _FID records another. Which is the live profile, and are the two ids two profiles for one person that want merging on FamilySearch itself?
What would settle it Loading each id and seeing whether it redirects.
-
Seven people carry a hand-entered FamilySearch id that the family-tree disagrees with
priority 3 · LEAD-0019
Backfilling familysearch_id from the family-tree's _FID tag agreed with the hand-entered value on 103 of 110 people and disagreed on 7. Which id is current for each - or do both resolve to the same person after a merge?
What would settle it A redirect proves a merge and the survivor id is the one to keep. Two live, distinct profiles means one of them is the wrong person, and the vitals decide which.
