Research notes
[FamilySearch, 29 Jul 2026] Youngest brother of the root ancestor.
29 Jul 2026 [SRC-074] FamilySearch shows him ALSO attached to his elder brother Jacobus Johannes (PER-000208) and Anna Magdalena StrijdomM as a FOSTER child. Their father Ockert died about April 1809, when Daniel Jacobus Johannes was one or two - so the eldest married brother took in the baby of the family. That is a whole small story in a single relationship label.

Two children with two different sets of parents

PER-000373 Sophia Johanna OosthuizenL (b.1850) and PER-000443 Adriana Cecilia OosthuizenL (b.1848) each carry two parentage rows naming different couples. Which is right?
What would settle it A baptism entry. Nothing short of it - both rows are [TREE] and neither has a register behind it.
