Research notes
[SRC-074] Son of PER-000021.
[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000599 into this row. PROVEN DUPLICATE, resolved on the FamilySearch id. Both rows carry GB6G-9ZQ; 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 1878 -> 1878-09-18; death_edtf 1943 -> 1943-06-02. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Charles Frederick MarincowitzH (b.1878)', PER-000599 said 'Charles Frederick MarincowitzH'.
[10 Aug 2026, SRC-357] TWO DATES DISAGREE BY TWO DAYS AND BOTH ARE KEPT. This model holds 18 September 1878; the 1875-1882 baptism index reads 'Charles Frederic 16.9.1878 Prins Albert 53 548'. Neither is preferred here. The register entry at boek 53 bladsy 548 settles it and nothing else should - the index is a typed finding aid and the register is the paper.
[10 Aug 2026, SRC-358] THE TWO-DAY DISAGREEMENT RESOLVES TOWARDS THIS MODEL. The DRC register index gives his birth as 18 SEPTEMBER 1878, agreeing with the date held here, against the typed 1875-1882 index's 16.9.1878. Two indexes of the same register disagree by two days and the register page itself, boek 53 bladsy 548, is still the thing that would settle it. Baptism 10 November 1878.
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.
