Elizabeth Catharina Louisa Pepler

[15 Aug 2026, FS] Created from a photograph THE FAMILYSEARCH PROFILE HAS NOT BEEN READ THIS SESSION and no dates are taken from it: this row carries a name, an id and a floruit derived from the photograph itself. SHE IS THE WOMAN IN MED-000039, seated in a dark dress and a white cap, holding a small book. She is the first PEPLER in this project - the surname appears nowhere else in the model. Her floruit is the same estimate from the same photograph.

Recorded as Izak Malherbe's wife because that is how LEAD-0199.

[15 Aug 2026] HER MAIDEN NAME IS NOW CONFIRMED IN INK, not inferred from a filename: the back of the card reads "Katriena Malherbe (geb. Pepler)" - see MED-000046. She is recorded here under Pepler, which is the project's practice for a woman's own name, and the card shows she went by Malherbe in life.

[15 Aug 2026, TREE] IDENTIFIED, AND THE LINK IS THE POINT. The private tree holds exactly ONE Izak Malherbe married to a Pepler - Izak Abraham MalherbeH (1792-1873) and Elizabeth Catharina Louisa PeplerH (1799-1877), married about 1819 - and their fourth son is HENDRIK LODEWYK MALHERBE, 30 March 1828 to 3 January 1901, who is PER-000755 in this project, father of Johanna Fredricka MalherbeM and therefore Frans's great-great-great-grandfather.

THREE INDEPENDENT THINGS AGREE and none of them is a name on its own, which 9 forbids: the ink on the back of the photograph gives the pair "Isak Malherbe & Katriena Malherbe (geb. Pepler)"; the tree gives that pair once; and the pencil line on the same back - "Ouma [illegible] se Ouma & Oupa" - gives a GENERATION COUNT of two above a woman called Ouma, which is exactly where Johanna Fredricka MalherbeM stands from these two.

THE FAMILYSEARCH IDS ARE STILL UNCHECKED. [TO VERIFY]

Dates are [TREE] and are not register-precise.

KATRIENA IS THE NOEMNAAM, AND IT IS THE INK THAT HAS IT. The back of the card calls her Katriena; the tree calls her Elizabeth Catharina Louisa. Under 5b those are not in conflict - Katriena is the everyday form of Catharina, her second name - and both are kept, the formal one displayed and the spoken one in noemnaam. She was the first PEPLER in this project and she is no longer loose in it.

[15 Aug 2026] THE FAMILYSEARCH IDS ARE CONFIRMED AND THE [TO VERIFY] IS CLOSED. Frans pointed at his direct-ancestor family tree export. It carries FamilySearch ids in _FID, and there they are: 97LH-84V against Izak Abraham MalherbeH, 21 July 1792 to 1873, and 2CBY-7BD against Elizabeth Catharina Louisa PeplerH, 14 October 1799 to 2 January 1877 - the same two ids Frans wrote into the photograph's filename, on the same two people, in a file built independently of it. Both appear again in the fuller export of 7,727 people. And the file is the DIRECT-ANCESTOR export, so it also settles that they are direct ancestors rather than a collateral pair who happened to fit.

THE NAMING PATTERN AGREES, INDEPENDENTLY. Their ten children run first daughter Elizabeth Catharina Louisa (the mother's mother), second daughter Anna Margaretha (the father's mother), first son Petrus Jacobus (the father's father), SECOND SON HENDRIK LODEWYK (the mother's father, Hendrik Lodewijk PeplerM), third son Isaak Abraham (the father himself). Five slots, five hits. The second-son slot is the one that matters here: it is our PER-000755, and the pattern says he is this couple's son for a reason that has nothing to do with the tree's own parent link.
