Research notes
[TREE] Added 6 Aug 2026 under LEAD-0116, to make a descent this site ALREADY ASSERTS walkable in its own data. Generation 10 of the anchor family's direct ancestry, on one of the ten lines set out in [S021]. NO PLACE IMPORTED, per 5. Dates as the tree gives them. This row exists to carry a link, and a tree is not a register: nothing here is established until the Cape records are read, which is what S021's provisional banner says.
[SRC-299] CORROBORATED FROM OUTSIDE THE TREE, one generation down from where LEAD-0118 is stuck. The 1713 inventory of her father's estate names three surviving children - ANTJE NIJS, JAN and AALTJE NIJS - and this row is very probably the ANTJE, with the tree's Aletta De Nys (b. 1699) as the AALTJE. Antje is the everyday form of Anna and Aaltje of Aletta. [TO VERIFY]: the inventory gives no ages and no mother for each child, so the match is on name and generation, not proof.
[FS G6ZJ-87L] Confirmed as the eldest of the four children of Jan Nijs and Lijsbet Jansz Fockese de Roode, born 1695, and therefore the ANTJE of the 1713 inventory. The identification that was marked [TO VERIFY] now has the family view behind it as well as the name form.
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.
