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.
- 1 other person 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] Child of Jacobus OosthuizenL (PER-000230) and Dina Carolina BritzM, Tulbagh 1749 - sibling of the root ancestor's father.
[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000664 into this row. PROVEN DUPLICATE, resolved on the FamilySearch id. Both rows carry LHLG-352; 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=. Dates sharpened from the merged row: birth_edtf 1769 -> 1769-10-08. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Jacobus OosthuizenL (b.1769)', PER-000664 said 'Jacobus 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.

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.
