Research notes

[TREE, via a FamilySearch fan chart Name, dates and the FamilySearch id only. NO PLACE IMPORTED: the tree's place strings are systematically wrong and are not evidence (see PER-000760).

[22 Sep 2026] FAMILYSEARCH ID CORRECTED from LWY2-LS5 to LWY2-L55. The old value was a misreading of a typed or screenshot id ('S' for '5' or the reverse); three machine-exported family-tree (the AS Oosthuizen file, Frans_Oosthuizen_FULL and Frans Oosthuizen family-tree) all give LWY2-L55 against this name and these years. Found by scanning every id for a one-character S/5 variant. The wrong id is why PER-001824 was created as a 'missing' ancestor on 11 Aug 2026; merged into this row.

[22 Sep 2026] MERGED PER-001824 into this row. same man: Daniel Jacobus Janse van RensburgH b.1793, FamilySearch LWY2-L55 (PER-001613 carried the misread LWY2-LS5) DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Daniel Jacobus Janse van RensburgH (1793-1893)', PER-001824 said 'Daniel Jacobus Janse van RensburgH (b.1793)'.
