Research notes
[FamilySearch, 29 Jul 2026] Brother of PER-000005, and a namesake of their father.
[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000367 into this row. Both rows carry FamilySearch id LZ1Q-G2J, so they are one person. Kept PER-000153 ('Jan Adriaan OosthuizenL (b.1842)'); merged PER-000367 ('Jan Adriaan OosthuizenL'). 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 LZ1Q-G2J 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: display_name: kept 'Jan Adriaan OosthuizenL (b.1842)', PER-000367 said 'Jan Adriaan OosthuizenL'; birth_edtf: kept '1842', PER-000367 said '1840~'.
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.
