Research notes
The chart gives a birth year and 'Deceased' with no date.
[FS] Added 23 Aug 2026 from a FamilySearch fan chart of Cecilia Maria du Plessis supplied by Frans. Thin record: name, dates and the line only. NO PLACE IMPORTED - the tree's place strings are systematically wrong and are not evidence. NO FamilySearch id captured, because the chart does not show them; that is a gap worth closing, since 10 makes the FS id the citation.
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.
