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-000656 into this row. PROVEN DUPLICATE, resolved on the FamilySearch id. Both rows carry LHLG-SBM; 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=M; tree id=.

*** [20 Aug 2026, SRC-093] HE IS NOT AMONG THE NINE HEIRS OF 1802, SO HE DIED BEFORE APRIL 1802 AND WITHOUT ISSUE. *** The inventory lists eight living children by name and, as the ninth heir, the children of the one who had died - which is how a Cape estate represents a predeceased child. A son who had died leaving children would therefore appear the way Marthinus does. This one appears not at all. THE DEATH DATE IS STILL UNKNOWN; what the document fixes is the LATEST it can be. Recorded as an inference from an heir list, not as a reading. [TO VERIFY]

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.
