Research notes

[SRC-074] Son of PER-000021.

[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000597 into this row. PROVEN DUPLICATE, resolved on the FamilySearch id. Both rows carry GKPD-QL2; 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 1876 -> 1876-10-02. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'George Coenraad MarincowitzH', PER-000597 said 'George Koenraad Marincowitz'.

[10 Aug 2026, SRC-358] THE DOUBLE ENTRY IS ONE CHILD, BAPTISED AT WILLOWMORE. The typed index carried him twice on the same birth date - 'George Coenraad 2.10.1876 Prins Albert 53 300' and 'George Koenraad 2.10.1876 Willowmore 46 400'. The register index resolves it: George Albert Koenraad, born 2 October 1876, BAPTISED 23 DECEMBER 1876 AT WILLOWMORE, of these parents, under three spellings of one name. One child, one baptism, two index cards.

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.
