Research notes
[17 Aug 2026] SIBLING OF PETRUS GIDEON VAN RENSBURG [PER-000173], Frans's great-grandfather, and therefore an aunt or uncle of Maria Magritha "Ria" van Rensburg. In scope under 6, which takes direct ancestors together with their siblings.
THE ELDEST OF THE SEVEN. No death date in the tree.
Source: the private family tree, which holds seven children for this couple. [TREE] Dates are the tree's and are not register-precise. NO PLACE STRING IS IMPORTED into a place field - 5 - but Van Wyksvlei is repeated by the tree for three of the siblings AND is given independently for Petrus Gideon by SRC-074, so it is written here in words as the family's ground rather than as a resolved place.
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.
