Research notes
[TREE] Added 2026-07-31 by kin_sweep.py under the one-degree rule: child of Catharina Maria OosthuizenL. Thin record, name, dates and the family link only. NO PLACE IMPORTED: the tree's place strings are systematically wrong and are not evidence.
[10 Aug 2026] LOOKS LIKE PER-000206 UNDER AN ANGLICISED NAME. Both rows carry the birth date 21 March 1888 and both are children of this couple; 'Andrew Peter' against 'Andries Petrus' is the pair checks.py's own duplicate text names as one person under two conventions. They hold DIFFERENT family-tree ids, so the duplication is upstream in the private tree and should be settled there before a merge here. Not merged. LEAD-0148.
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
-
Andries Petrus and Andrew Peter Marincowitz, one man on two FamilySearch profiles?
priority 2 · LEAD-0038
PER-000206 'Andries Petrus MarincowitzM' and PER-000602 'Andrew Peter MarincowitzH' share a birth date of 21 March 1888 and the same parents, and the names are the Afrikaans and English forms of each other. But they carry DIFFERENT FamilySearch ids - GYXY-DKQ and GFQC-81T. Are they one man with two profiles on FamilySearch?
What would settle it A baptism entry, or either profile citing a source the other also cites.
-
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.
