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] Eldest brother of Frans's grandfather PER-000017.
[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000427 into this row. Both rows carry FamilySearch id GHX9-1VK, so they are one person. Kept PER-000165 ('Ockert Almero OosthuizenL (b.1904)'); merged PER-000427 ('Ockert Almero 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 GHX9-1VK 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 1904 -> 1904-03-26; death_edtf 1975 -> 1975-01-17. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Ockert Almero OosthuizenL (b.1904)', PER-000427 said 'Ockert Almero 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.
