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
[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'.
[17 Aug 2026, SRC-454] BAPTISED "aan onder Traca" on 5 NOVEMBER 1818 by A. Faure, on the Graaff-Reinet register, bladz 266. The register gives her birth as 1 AUGUST 1818 where this row carried 14 August; both are kept and neither is corrected away. Witnesses: Martinus van Vooren and Adriana [Z/K]oek; her uncle CORNELIS ANDRIES OOSTHUIZEN (PER-000015) and Anna Magdalena Petronella Strydom. She is the earliest dated trace of this household in the Traka field cornetcy.
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.
