[TREE] Added 2026-07-31 by kin_sweep.py under the one-degree rule: child of Magdalena Maria 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.
*** [28 Aug 2026] TWO FAMILYSEARCH IDS FOR THIS PERSON, AND THE ONE ALREADY HERE IS KEPT. *** This row carries LR3F-KJ4. His father's FS card (LR3F-NFS) lists the same eldest son, Johannes Frederick De WitH 1873-1951, as GGLB-KQR. Same name, same two years. 10: never overwrite an id that is already there - a wrong id somebody chose is a decision, a wrong id a script wrote is damage, and afterwards the two are indistinguishable. Every one of his eight siblings matches the card exactly, so this is the single disagreement in the sibship and most likely a duplicate on FamilySearch's side. LEAD-0327. [TO VERIFY]
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.
