Research notes

[TREE] Added 29 Jul 2026 under the people-related-to-the-land rule: child Stephanus Johannes TheronL (PER-000047). Thin record; dates as in the tree.

[22 Sep 2026] MERGED PER-000391 into this row. same person: Aletta Francina/Franzina Theron, b. 29 Jul 1860, same parents Stephanus Johannes TheronL and Dina Magdalena OosthuizenL; two FamilySearch records (G7MZ-7J5 kept, GD9F-1SP retired) - FS may hold a duplicate DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Aletta Franzina TheronH', PER-000391 said 'Aletta Francina TheronL'; given: kept 'Aletta Franzina', PER-000391 said 'Aletta Francina'; tree id: kept '', PER-000391 said ''; familysearch_id: kept 'G7MZ-7J5', PER-000391 said 'GD9F-1SP'. Retired ids kept for the trail: tree, FamilySearch GD9F-1SP - a merged FamilySearch id still resolves, so it remains a usable door.

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

Four same-day sibling pairs that are one child under two spellings priority 2 · LEAD-0111
Four pairs of siblings share a mother and an exact birth date and carry names one or two letters apart. Are they twins given near-identical names, or one child recorded twice?

What would settle it The register entry, or a single FamilySearch profile behind both ids.
