A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

Research notes

[FamilySearch, 29 Jul 2026] Frans's uncle - youngest child of PER-000017 and PER-000078.

[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000435 into this row. Both rows carry FamilySearch id LBGJ-J37, so they are one person. Kept PER-000172 ('Hendrik Malherbe OosthuizenH (b.1957)'); merged PER-000435 ('Hendrik Malherbe OosthuizenH'). 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 LBGJ-J37 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 1957 -> 1957-02-11. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Hendrik Malherbe OosthuizenH (b.1957)', PER-000435 said 'Hendrik Malherbe OosthuizenH'.

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.
