Research notes
[SRC-073 + tree] Mother of PER-000001. Pottas gives b.1762; the tree has "before 20 Feb 1763", i.e. a baptism date.
29 Jul 2026 [SRC-076, SRC-077]: BOTH originals spell her VAN TONDER, not van Tonderen. Corrected.
29 Jul 2026 [SRC-092] The 1809 inventory refers to "het afsterven van zijne ouders" - plural - so she had died by April 1809 [TO VERIFY].
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.
