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.

What we don't know

No death date is recorded.
No dated record ties this person to a specific piece of ground.
4 other people in this model carry the same name. Never match on a name alone.

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

Research notes

[SRC-074] Daughter of PER-000208, named for her mother.

[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000574 into this row. PROVEN DUPLICATE, resolved on the FamilySearch id. Both rows carry GK37-31H; 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 1818 -> 1818-08-14. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Anna Magdalena OosthuizenL (b.1818)', PER-000574 said 'Anna Magdalena 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.

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.
