Two Jan Adriaan Oosthuizens, one wife: are PER-000163 and PER-000398 one man?
priority 2 · LEAD-0098
PER-000163 (tree, FS GQKX-JX7) and PER-000398 (tree, FS GHXS-ZVD) carry the same name and the same wife, Johanna Susanna De VilliersH born 3 August 1867. Are they one man duplicated upstream, or two men the tree has confused? And whose dates does PER-000163's row actually hold?
What would settle it A death notice. The two candidate deaths are fourteen years and a province apart, so one notice decides it outright.
