Martha Margaretha Jacomina Oosthuizen
? – 1952 · Oosthuizen line
No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1875, because their mother died 1874. That is a hard limit, it cannot be otherwise. It is an upper bound and not a birth year, and nothing in the model records it as one.

Research notes
[TREE] Added 2026-07-31 by kin_sweep.py under the one-degree rule: child of Abel Albertus OosthuizenM. Thin record, name, dates and the family link only. NO PLACE IMPORTED: the tree's place strings are systematically wrong and are not evidence.
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.
