Research notes

[15 Aug 2026] Sibling of Hendrik Lodewyk MalherbeL (PER-000755) and a child of Izak Abraham MalherbeM and Elizabeth Catharina Louisa PeplerM - the couple in MED-000039, the oldest photograph in this project. Thin row: name, dates, position in the family. In scope under 6, which takes direct ancestors together with their siblings.

FIRST DAUGHTER, and named for her mother's mother Elisabeth Catharina de VilliersM - the vernoemingspatroon exactly. Her birth is a year BEFORE the marriage the tree records, and that contradiction is left standing rather than tidied; one of the two dates is wrong and nothing here says which.

Source: the family tree exports, the direct-ancestor one of 2,737 people and the fuller one of 7,727, both of which carry FamilySearch ids. [TREE] [FS] Dates are the tree's and are not register-precise. NO PLACE IS TAKEN FROM EITHER FILE - 5 treats family-tree place strings as hostile and these are the auto-geocoded kind.

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.
