Research notes
[TREE] Added 2026-07-31 by kin_sweep.py under the one-degree rule: child of Johanna Jacomina 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.

What would settle it One register entry per pair.
