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