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.

[SRC-322, 7 Aug 2026] HIS GRAVE IS FOUND, AND HE IS NO LONGER A THIN ROW. eGGSA photographed 'OOSTHUIZEN Pieter M. 1850-1925' on VRISCH GEWACHT 163, with his wife's stone beside it. This row was created on 31 July by kin_sweep.py as 'a thin record, name, dates and the family link only'. It now has a farm and a burial. His FamilySearch id is GMGP-4RD.

[24 Aug 2026] FS Details captured: m. (1) Aletta Elizabeth le GrangeH, 18 June 1877 at PRINS ALBERT; m. (2) Diedrika Johanna HattinghH (9JW2-BPZ), 30 September 1913 at Cape Town, no children. Nine children by the first marriage, 1878-1896, ids on the card, Susara Johanna GVQK-ZX5 (PER-001917) among them. *** THE NAMESAKE TRAP, DISARMED IN WRITING: two men named Petrus/Pieter Marthinus OosthuizenH were born in 1850 and both are real - this one (GMGP-4RD), son of Petrus Marthinus and Susanna Margaretha Liebenberg, and PER-000640 (L5KD-4J7), son of Adriana Cecilia OosthuizenL b.1816 - FIRST COUSINS, both grandsons of Ockert Almero and Adriana Cecilia, named on the same vernoemingspatroon. Never match them on name and year alone. ***

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

Which Vrischgewaagd did Pieter Marthinus Oosthuizen die on, and how does his household reach this record? priority 1 · LEAD-0188
[FAMILY] Interesting, i did not know this farm was in family! vrischgewag. PER-000846, Pieter Marthinus OosthuizenH (FS GMGP-4RD, 1850-1925), is already in this model as a thin row. His 1925 death notice gives his usual residence AND his intended burial place as VRISCHGEWAAGD, district Prince Albert. This project draws two farms of that name - Vrisch Gewagt No. 163 (PAR-000130) and Vrisgewaagd No. 152 (PAR-000267) - and the 2023 valuation roll names a third piece, farm 163 portion 7, and a fourth on farm 221. WHICH ONE, and is he buried there?

What would settle it A grave, a deed, or a coordinate. Any one of the three names the farm; an argument from the name alone will not, as the Bloemendal case showed on 13-14 Aug 2026.
