Research notes

[FamilySearch, 29 Jul 2026] Youngest brother of the root ancestor.

29 Jul 2026 [SRC-074] FamilySearch shows him ALSO attached to his elder brother Jacobus Johannes (PER-000208) and Anna Magdalena StrijdomM as a FOSTER child. Their father Ockert died about April 1809, when Daniel Jacobus Johannes was one or two - so the eldest married brother took in the baby of the family. That is a whole small story in a single relationship label.

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.
