Research notes

[FamilySearch, 29 Jul 2026] Sister of the root ancestor PER-000001.

[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000462 into this row. Both rows carry FamilySearch id 2CB5-R6M, so they are one person. Kept PER-000141 ('Susanna Elizabeth OosthuyzenH'); merged PER-000462 ('Susanna Elizabeth OosthuyzenH'). Exposed by the _FID backfill of 31 Jul 2026, which gave nearly every person an id to collide on; before that these had no shared key. Check 2CB5-R6M on FamilySearch before assuming the upstream tree needs anything - it is usually the LOCAL tree that is stale (LEAD-0021). Moved across: tree id=. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: surname: kept 'Oosthuizen', PER-000462 said 'Oosthuyzen'.

[20 Aug 2026] MERGED PER-000342 into this row. Two rows for Susanna Elizabeth, both born 1784, both children of PER-000118 and PER-000119. She is absent from the 1809 heirs so the inventory cannot adjudicate; the duplication rests on name, year and parentage together. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Susanna Elizabeth OosthuyzenH', PER-000342 said 'Susanna Elizabeth OOSTHUIZEN'; surname: kept 'Oosthuizen', PER-000342 said 'OOSTHUIZEN'; birth_edtf: kept '1784', PER-000342 said '1784~'; tree id: kept '', PER-000342 said ''; familysearch_id: kept '2CB5-R6M', PER-000342 said 'G619-7W7'. Retired ids kept for the trail: tree, FamilySearch G619-7W7 - a merged FamilySearch id still resolves, so it remains a usable door.

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.
