Ander van dieselfde naam

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.

Navorsingsnotas

Middelwater anchor ~1821

29 Jul 2026 [SRC-073 + tree]: DIRECT ANCESTOR - Frans's 4x-great-grandfather on a second line into the same family. Married Johanna Machteld Petronella StrydomH (PER-000138) at Graaff-Reinet 11 Apr 1813. Father of Susanna Catharina (PER-000135), who married the son of PER-000001 - PEDIGREE COLLAPSE: Frans descends from both couples. Absorbed PER-000137, which I created today in error before checking this row.

29 Jul 2026 FamilySearch GCZ4-2WS: he is a SON of Ockert Oosthuijzen (1755) and so a BROTHER of the root ancestor PER-000001. That is what makes the 1836 marriage first-cousin: his daughter Susanna Catharina married his brother's son Johannes Adriaan. NOT to be confused with his nephew and namesake Cornelis Andries (PER-000128, 1828-1871), who also died on Middelwater.

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.
