What we don't know

No dated record ties this person to a specific piece of ground.

A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

Research notes

FRANS'S GREAT-GRANDMOTHER. Married Christiaan Wilhelm Johannes JoubertH (1881-1962); their daughter Anna Tobia Jeanne JoubertH (1915-1974) married Hendrik Lodewyk Malherbe OosthuizenM. This marriage is how the Duminy line reaches Frans - and why "Duminy" recurs as a given name in the Joubert descendants, including Frances Duminy JoubertH (1918-1965), Tokkie Marincowitz's first wife.

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.
