Research notes
[TREE] Added 6 Aug 2026 under LEAD-0116, to make a descent this site ALREADY ASSERTS walkable in its own data. Generation 5 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.
[9 Aug 2026] FamilySearch id LW15-4NY, off the fan chart The chart dates her 1825; this row's 1824~ is a circa and is left as it stands, because a tree's round year is not better evidence than an honest approximation.
[22 Sep 2026] FAMILYSEARCH ID CORRECTED from LW15-4NY to LW1S-4NY. The old value was a misreading of a typed or screenshot id ('S' for '5' or the reverse); three machine-exported family-tree (the AS Oosthuizen file, Frans_Oosthuizen_FULL and Frans Oosthuizen family-tree) all give LW1S-4NY against this name and these years. Found by scanning every id for a one-character S/5 variant.
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.
