Research notes

[11 Aug 2026, SRC-391] Imported 11 Aug 2026 as a SIBLING of a direct ancestor, with a FamilySearch id so the row can be re-checked against the live tree. Name, dates and the family link only. NO PLACE IMPORTED: the tree's place strings are systematically wrong and are not evidence. ONE OF A PAIR THAT IS PROBABLY ONE MAN. Hendrik Pietersz van HeerdenH P3CY-9QC and Hendrik van HeerdenM LZD1-FL3 carry the SAME BIRTH AND DEATH YEARS, 1736 and 1772, in the same sibling list. Both are imported so the duplicate is visible rather than silently resolved. FIX-0006.

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.
