Research notes
[SRC-074] Son of PER-000021.
[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000603 into this row. PROVEN DUPLICATE, resolved on the FamilySearch id. Both rows carry GYXY-DKQ; an FS id names one person, so these are one person recorded twice. Created by the 31 Jul 2026 one-degree tree pull, which matched on tree id alone - and 255 model people carry no tree id, so any of them one hop from a tree-linked person was added again. Survivor is the pre-existing row; it carries the prose, sources and land links. Moved across: tree id=. Dates sharpened from the merged row: birth_edtf 1888 -> 1888-03-21; death_edtf 1953 -> 1953-05-20.
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.
Open questions
-
Duplicate candidates from the one-degree pull, settled on FamilySearch ids
priority 2 · LEAD-0035
38 people added on 31 Jul 2026 share a name AND a birth YEAR with somebody already in the model, and 32 share a name with no date at all. Are they the same people?
What would settle it A full birth or baptism date on either side of a pair. Name plus YEAR is not enough here and must not be treated as enough.

Andries Petrus and Andrew Peter Marincowitz, one man on two FamilySearch profiles?
priority 2 · LEAD-0038
PER-000206 'Andries Petrus MarincowitzH' and PER-000602 'Andrew Peter MarincowitzM' share a birth date of 21 March 1888 and the same parents, and the names are the Afrikaans and English forms of each other. But they carry DIFFERENT FamilySearch ids - GYXY-DKQ and GFQC-81T. Are they one man with two profiles on FamilySearch?
What would settle it A baptism entry, or either profile citing a source the other also cites.
-
Four same-day sibling pairs that are one child under two spellings
priority 2 · LEAD-0111
Four pairs of siblings share a mother and an exact birth date and carry names one or two letters apart. Are they twins given near-identical names, or one child recorded twice?
What would settle it The register entry, or a single FamilySearch profile behind both ids.
