Research notes
[TREE] Added 29 Jul 2026 under the people-related-to-the-land rule: spouse Jacobus Daniel Johannes OosthuizenH (PER-000004). Thin record; dates as in the tree.
[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000471 into this row. Both rows carry FamilySearch id 9CWR-2SV, so they are one person. Kept PER-000378 ('Mary Jane WelchH'); merged PER-000471 ('Mary Jane WelchH'). 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 9CWR-2SV on FamilySearch before assuming the upstream tree needs anything - it is usually the LOCAL tree that is stale (LEAD-0021). Moved across: living=0.
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.
