Research notes
[FamilySearch, 29 Jul 2026] Youngest sister of PER-000005, born the year their mother died on Middelwater.
[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000456 into this row. Both rows carry FamilySearch id GHXS-V8W, so they are one person. Kept PER-000159 ('Martha Magdalena OosthuizenH'); merged PER-000456 ('Martha Jacoba Oosthuizen'). 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 GHXS-V8W 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 'Martha Magdalena OosthuizenH', PER-000456 said 'Martha Jacoba Oosthuizen'; given: kept 'Martha Magdalena', PER-000456 said 'Martha Jacoba'.
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.
