Others of the same name
Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.

Research notes
[FamilySearch, 29 Jul 2026] Youngest brother of PER-000017.
[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000428 into this row. Both rows carry FamilySearch id GHX9-12X, so they are one person. Kept PER-000168 ('Almero Jacobus Hitge OosthuizenL (b.1912)'); merged PER-000428 ('Almero Jacobus Hitge 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 GHX9-12X on FamilySearch before assuming the upstream tree needs anything - it is usually the LOCAL tree that is stale (LEAD-0021). Moved across: tree id=. Dates sharpened from the merged row: birth_edtf 1912 -> 1912-06-28; death_edtf 2001 -> 2001-01-21. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Almero Jacobus Hitge OosthuizenL (b.1912)', PER-000428 said 'Almero Jacobus Hitge OosthuizenL'.
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.
