The formal baptismal name and the name a person was actually called are both kept, and neither is derived from the other. Spelling drift between records is evidence, not noise.
What we don't know
- No birth date is recorded.
- No death date is recorded.
- Neither parent is recorded, so this person is not attached to the tree above them.
- No dated record ties this person to a specific piece of ground.
- Nothing dated is recorded about them at all, they are here because another record names them.
A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.
Research notes
[3 Aug 2026, SRC-200] THIN RECORD, created because this person STOOD AS A BAPTISM WITNESS at Beaufort West in 1844 (BWB-299-07, veldkornetskap C Hatting, page 299) AND is connected to the families this project is built on. KINSHIP PATH: 7 steps to Frans in the private tree. THE PATH ITSELF IS NOT PRINTED, because its shortest route runs through people this site suppresses as living - the step count is the claim, the names are not ours to publish. IDENTIFIED ON NAME + DATE, not on the name alone: the name is unique among 44,143 people in the private tree and the tree's dates put this person alive and adult at that font. 22 of 52 unique-name matches from this register were REJECTED because the chronology forbade them. [TO VERIFY] Nothing beyond the tree's own dates and this one appearance is claimed here.
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.
