Research notes

Their father PER-000241 was dead by April 1802 and they inherit in his place. THE INVENTORY RECORDS WHERE EACH CHILD WAS LIVING, which is the rare thing about it. Age not known. Living WITH THE STIEFVADER J. J. SCHMIDT - so the widow of Marthinus had remarried a Schmidt by 1802.
Created from a CLOSED LIST in one document, not from an open pull. Nothing is known of them beyond this page.
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.
