Research notes

[7 Aug 2026, from the Willowmore eGGSA sweep, SRC-332] Born and died at Willowmore. HER STONE IS ON UITNOOD 147 in the Swartberge, 23 km from Klaarstroom - the only burial ground in the whole Willowmore rural index that falls inside that radius. Two steps to this project: married to Charles Frederick HitgeL, whose father George Joseph Roye Hitge [PER-000283] is already here. [TREE]

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.
