Research notes
[FamilySearch, 29 Jul 2026] SECOND WIFE of Johannes (Jan) Adriaan OosthuizenM (PER-000003), married at George 9 Feb 1858, two years after Susanna Catharina died on Middelwater.
[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-001257 into this row. PROVEN DUPLICATE, resolved on the FamilySearch id. Both rows carry GMZN-YDG; 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 1831 -> 1831-09-25.
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
-
Duplicate candidates from the one-degree pull, settled on FamilySearch ids
priority 2 · LEAD-0035
38 people added on 31 Jul 2026 share a name AND a birth YEAR with somebody already in the model, and 32 share a name with no date at all. Are they the same people?
What would settle it A full birth or baptism date on either side of a pair. Name plus YEAR is not enough here and must not be treated as enough.
