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 PER-000005.

[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000372 into this row. Both rows carry FamilySearch id GHXS-6XN, so they are one person. Kept PER-000156 ('Susanna Catharina OosthuizenL (b.1849)'); merged PER-000372 ('Susanna Catharina OosthuizenL'). 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 GHXS-6XN 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 1849 -> 1849-09-02; death_edtf 1936 -> 1936-08-21. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Susanna Catharina OosthuizenL (b.1849)', PER-000372 said 'Susanna Catharina OosthuizenL'.

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.
