Research notes
[TREE] Added 6 Aug 2026 under LEAD-0116, to make a descent this site ALREADY ASSERTS walkable in its own data. Generation 7 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.
[15 Aug 2026, FS] FamilySearch id filled from the FamilySearch id field of the family tree exports, matched on this row's own tree id and accepted only because the tree's NAME AND YEARS agree with this row. It is a door to the sources, not a source: nothing here is taken from the profile.
[27 Sep 2026, SRC-695] BORN IN TULBAGH, and he has brothers and sisters this model does not hold: Cornelia (1791, christened 4 Sep 1791, who married Ockert Cornelis Kruger), ERNESTUS JACOBUS (1793, christened 2 Feb 1793), Helena Aletta (1797) and Nicolaas (1802, christened in the Roggeveld). MIND THE NAME: that Ernestus Jacobus is his BROTHER; the Ernestus Jacobus this model holds as PER-001492, born 1831, is his SON. The name is reused across a generation, which is the vernoemingspatroon of 5b and the commonest trap in this family. SRC-695 is Ancestral-File derivative and names no register. [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.
