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.

[SRC-074] Son of PER-000208 and Anna Magdalena StrijdomM.

29 Jul 2026 [SRC-119, family tradition + tree]: "gebore en afkomstig van die plaas Vrolikheid" per descendant Fred van Zyl - placing his father's household on Vrolykheid (PAR-000014) around 1809, a generation before the 1833 survey [FAMILY][TO VERIFY]. In 1848 he helped establish the first four Marico farms and named his KLAARSTROOM after the farm/place bordering his birthplace (EVT-000008); a portion remains with Van Zyl descendants (Fred van Zyl, 2026). His daughter Susarra Cornelia (1845-1923) married Jan Adriaan van Zyl (1839-1895), son of Wynand van ZylM and Johanna Jacomina OosthuizenM (PER-000122) - Fred's double descent from both brothers.

[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000572 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 1876 -> 1876-03-23. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Ockert Jacobus OosthuizenL (b.1809)', PER-000572 said 'Ockert Jacobus OosthuizenL'.

[SRC-294, Fred van Zyl, 6 Aug 2026] [FAMILY] FOUR ADDITIONS, none of them yet documented. (1) He is b7c3d2's son in the de Villiers numbering: his father Jacobus Johannes is b7c3d2 (1785-1867) and the root ancestor Ockert Almero is b7c3d3, both sons of Ockert Almero OosthuizenL (1754/55-1809). (2) HE HAD FOURTEEN CHILDREN, against the three of his cousin and namesake PER-000124 - and this model records ZERO for him, so fourteen children of a man born on Vrolikheid are missing from the tree here. (3) One of them was SUSARA CORNELIA OOSTHUIZEN, who married Jan Adriaan van Zyl, Fred's oupagrootjie; she has no row here. (4) At his Marico Klaarstroom he established a SECOND farm, TWEEFONTEIN, to settle his descendants - which Fred reads as the same tactic used at Middelwater and Vrolikheid. [TO VERIFY] throughout.

Oop vrae

Was a van Zyl household living on Middelwater in 1839, and was Jacobus Johannes on Vrolikheid in 1809? prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0110
Fred van Zyl states that his great-grandfather Jan Adriaan van Zyl was born on Middelwater on 9 November 1839, and that Ockert Jacobus OosthuizenL was born on Vrolikheid in 1809. Both would put named households on this project's core ground a generation earlier than its documents do.

Wat dit sou uitmaak The two baptism entries. Each names the farm and the parents in the same line.
Nine people carry a different FamilySearch id here and in the tree prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0036
For nine people the model records one FamilySearch id and the family-tree's _FID records another. Which is the live profile, and are the two ids two profiles for one person that want merging on FamilySearch itself?

Wat dit sou uitmaak Loading each id and seeing whether it redirects.
Fourteen children of Ockert Jacobus Oosthuizen (b.1809) are missing from this model prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0109
Fred van Zyl states that PER-000211, born on Vrolikheid in 1809 and the man who named the Marico Klaarstroom, had fourteen children - one of them Susara Cornelia Oosthuizen, who married Fred's great-grandfather Jan Adriaan van Zyl. This model records none of them. Who were they?

Wat dit sou uitmaak A register or the descendant compilation Fred already holds. Susara Cornelia is the one to start with, because her marriage to Jan Adriaan van Zyl dates and places the family.
Two more merges kept the survivor's FamilySearch id. Was it the right one? prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0115
Three merges in this model retired a FamilySearch id the survivor does not carry. One has now been adjudicated and the RETIRED id was correct. Are the other two the same way round? PER-000470 (kept K8RV-S4V, retired GL5W-F4T) and PER-000211 (kept GB6B-ZCM, retired L1GX-62B).

Wat dit sou uitmaak Reading each pair and saying which profile is the person. Where FamilySearch itself holds both, it needs merging there too.
