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.

THIRD SON, named for his own father Izak Abraham - exact. NOTE THE NAMESAKE FOUR YEARS LATER: a second Izaak Abraham Johannes was born 24 March 1835. This row carries no death date, so whether the later child is the name being reused after a death - the commonest trap in this project - is NOT established here. [TO VERIFY]

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.
