Research notes
[TREE] Added 2026-07-31 by kin_sweep.py under the one-degree rule: parent of Susanna Catharina van TonderH. 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.

Did two Oosthuizen brothers marry two van Tonder sisters?
priority 2 · LEAD-0231
Ockert Jacobus OosthuizenL (PER-000118) married SUSANNA CATHARINA VAN TONDER on 26 January 1783. The opgaafrol index at SRC-482 shows another Oosthuizen household, entry 430, headed by a GERRET with the wife JOH: VAN TONDEREN. Are the two wives sisters, and is that Gerret one of Ockert's brothers?
What would settle it A baptism or marriage record naming both van Tonder women as daughters of the same father, together with the Gerret of entry 430 identified by patronymic.
