Roelof Oosthuyzen
No dates recorded · Oosthuizen line
No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1805, because their mother born 1763, at most 42 at the birth. That rests on an assumption about ordinary childbearing ages, not on a document. It is an upper bound and not a birth year, and nothing in the model records it as one.

Research notes
[TREE] Added 29 Jul 2026 under the people-related-to-the-land rule: child Ockert Oosthuizen (b.1755) (PER-000118). Thin record; dates as in the tree.
*** [20 Aug 2026] DELIBERATELY NOT MERGED INTO PER-000147. *** This row shares a name with a dated sibling and carries no date of its own - and the private tree has none either, so there is nothing to compare. It is therefore indistinguishable from an earlier Roelof who died young and had the name reused, which 5b says is where this project's same-name traps come from. THE HOUSEHOLD IS NOW KNOWN TO HAVE LOST CHILDREN: Susanna Elizabeth (b.1784) and Catherina Jacoba (b.1790) are both absent from the eleven heirs of the 1809 estate. Five other duplicates in this sibship were merged the same day on documentary evidence; this one has none either way. LEAD-0259.
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.
