Research notes
[SRC-074] Child of Jacobus OosthuizenL (PER-000230) and Dina Carolina BritzM, Tulbagh 1749 - sibling of the root ancestor's father.
[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000657 into this row. PROVEN DUPLICATE, resolved on the FamilySearch id. Both rows carry G9C9-MDD; 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: sex=F; tree id=. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: birth_edtf: kept '1751', PER-000657 said '1750'.
SHE MARRIED JAN CRAFFORT, 1741-1827 (FS LHVZ-3JJ), and the pair head a household on FOLIO 2 OF THE 1770 SWELLENDAM OPGAAFROL with one daughter and no sons (SRC-490). She is 19 there and he is 29. Their son is Jan Frederik Pieter Cornelis Crafford, 1788-1829 (M9VX-54R).
*** WHY SHE MATTERS BEYOND HER OWN LINE. *** Her brother is Ockert Jacobus OosthuizenL (PER-000118), whose son Ockert Almero was baptised in May 1786 with LOUIS ALMORO PISANI among the witnesses - the Venetian the name ALMERO comes from. Pisani married DINA JOHANNA CRAFFORD (PER-000271) about 1790, and if Dina Johanna is Catharina's daughter then Pisani was marrying the baptised child's first cousin, which would explain a stranger at that font. NOT ESTABLISHED: the chart does not list Dina Johanna among this couple's children. LEAD-0252, and S008 says so in the same words.
