Lysbeth Sanders
? – before 1714 · van Bengale line
No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1704, because their sibling born 1659, within 45 years. That rests on an assumption about ordinary childbearing ages, not on a document. It is an upper bound and not a birth year, and nothing in the model records it as one.

Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.
What we don't know

A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.
Research notes
[SRC-259] The generation between Louis van BengaleM and Clara HerbstL. The Tulbagh book does not name her - it says only that Clara was the GRANDDAUGHTER of the freed slave Louis of Bengal - so her identity comes from the private tree and the book supplies the position. Recorded here so the descent is visible rather than implied. Her own dates are unknown; the bound shown is her daughter's death. [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.
