Research notes
[SRC-074] Son of PER-000021, named for his father.
[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000600 into this row. Duplicate created by the 31 Jul 2026 one-degree tree pull: kin_sweep.py matched on tree id only, so a person already in the model WITHOUT a tree id was added a second time. Same display name AND same full birth date - name plus date, not name alone. Survivor is the pre-existing row; it carries the research. Moved across: tree id=. Dates sharpened from the merged row: death_edtf 1946 -> 1946-08-03. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Nicholas James MarincowitzH (b.1880)', PER-000600 said 'Nicholas James MarincowitzH'.
[10 Aug 2026, SRC-357] Birth date from the 1875-1882 baptism index, which gives 'Nicolaas James 19.6.1880 Prins Albert 59 756'. This row carried the bare year 1880 until now. The register entry itself, boek 59 bladsy 756, has not been pulled.
[10 Aug 2026, SRC-358] Baptism 19 September 1880 at Prince Albert, and the birth of 19 June 1880 taken from the typed index this morning is confirmed by the register index.
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.
