Others of the same name

Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.

Research notes

[FamilySearch, 29 Jul 2026] Sister of the root ancestor.

[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000344 into this row. Both rows carry FamilySearch id 97K8-46Y, so they are one person. Kept PER-000142 ('Dina Magdalena OosthuizenL (b.1787)'); merged PER-000344 ('Dina Magdalena Oosthuijzen'). Exposed by the _FID backfill of 31 Jul 2026, which gave nearly every person an id to collide on; before that these had no shared key. Check 97K8-46Y on FamilySearch before assuming the upstream tree needs anything - it is usually the LOCAL tree that is stale (LEAD-0021). Moved across: tree id=. Dates sharpened from the merged row: birth_edtf 1787 -> 1787-07-15. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Dina Magdalena OosthuizenL (b.1787)', PER-000344 said 'Dina Magdalena Oosthuijzen'; surname: kept 'Oosthuizen', PER-000344 said 'Oosthuijzen'.

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.
