Research notes
[SRC-073] Mother of Adriana Cecilia VenterH (PER-000002).
[4 Aug 2026] MOOC8 CANDIDATE. Died 1824, squarely inside the Orphan Chamber inventory range, and no estate paper is held for her. She is the woman the root couple's eldest daughter was named for, which is how the vernoemingspatroon of 5b was first tested. See the widow discrepancy on her husband PER-000120. [TO VERIFY]
