Research notes
[SRC-068] Elder of the Zeekoegat church; gave it its silver communion cups in 1912. The source gives 'Elder PH Theron', initials only, so the given names here are an EXPANSION OF INITIALS and are [TO VERIFY]. NOT matched to any Theron in the tree: two initials and a surname is exactly the 9 trap.
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.
