Research notes
[TREE] Added 2026-07-31 by kin_sweep.py under the one-degree rule: child of Petrus Marthinus 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.
[3 Aug 2026, SRC-200] HER BAPTISM IS IN THE REGISTER: BWB-273-07, born 29 October 1842, baptised 26 December 1842 at Beaufort West in the veldkornetskap Hatting. The witnesses were her father's brothers GERRIT ADRIAAN (PER-000127) and CORNELIS ANDRIES OOSTHUIZEN (PER-000128), with Catharina Adriana van VeurenM. SHE IS ALSO A CORRECTION TO THIS PROJECT: the scan cuts her forename and I transcribed the tail as '[?]arus Johannes', a man's name. Frans matched the couple and the exact birth date on FamilySearch and it is SUSARA JOHANNA.
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.
