Help me find my ancestors - Oosthuizen

Hi Barney,

Oosthuizen is certainly a Dutch name but it would help if we knew where Johannes was from... the Netherlands, South Africa, German, Canada, America?

I found a Jan Oosthuizen born in 1906 who married a woman named Catharina Stam in 1929?

Hi Alex thanks for your reply. I was up all night last night doing some research of my own, and came up with a bit more info that may help us. My grandfather on my moms side is Johannes Hendrik Harmse, on my fathers side Johannes Josiah Oosthuizen, so I suppose looking at my dads side makes sense as I'm looking for my Oosthuizen family line.

I also found my aunts profile on Geni which may help. Problem is we can't get to before 1874
here goes

And then I found another of his profiles, which lists his father all the way back to the late 1800's, but before this I am not able to find a ancestor.

Okay well, i'm Dutch not South African so i won't be any help at all.

First up lets tag the profile manager Lenore Adams

Then let's tag a few curators too Pam Karp or Sharon Doubell ?

Ok good thanks. I will do. Appreciate the reply though Alex thanks

Thanks Alex for always going the extra mile.
Hi Barney. I've just set you a Collaboration request to the SA Landing Site project - Welkom Cuzzins.
I see too that your profile is already on Geni - so sent you a request to merge the two, in case the other one is linked into a tree with managers who can help you...

Barney Oosthuizen, Mr I can see that your father and other family profiles are already on the GEni tree. You should start by merging your trees together.

I've joined you up to the South African Oosthuizen project too: http://www.geni.com/projects/Familie-Oosthuizen/2290

Thanks so much everyone for your help its great to have some answers to history. How do I merge my tree please?

You may have got an email telling you there are merges requested on your profile.Click on that.
Otherwise on your Home page - top right - Click on little box next to your name with the number in it. Drop Down menu - Click on 'Matches' and it will show up there.
We may have to wait for the other manager to come online and approve it, but let me know if this seems not to be happening.

Thanks so much Sharon. I have clicked on Merge. Seems I will have to register first. I am unable to do so at this stage, but will see what I can do. Once again I appreciate all your help thank you

Sharon this is pretty complex, but I have managed to merge some profiles. Im not sure where to go from here as I am no longer sure who is who. lol. Help please

Barney - you seem to be doing great. Your tree seems to have 167 people in it now.
