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 LWNP-DSS to LWNP-DS5. 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 LWNP-DS5 against this name and these years. Found by scanning every id for a one-character S/5 variant.
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.
