Botha-7424 and Bota-20 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate approached from different generations
Botha-144 and Botha-4233 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate based on DOB/Baptism Date, Spouse & Parents. NOTE - LNAB change required based on Baptism record.
posted on Botha-4233 (merged) by André Laubscher
Based on the Baptism record the LNAB should be "Bota"

only difference I have is Jacobus born in Swellendam. I do have Jacobus Lodewikus son of Theunis Jesaias born in 1893 died 1945 born in Pearston. Seems the Botha family used the same names over and over again.
