Research notes
Mother of Daniel du PlessisH (PER-001895). Married at Stellenbosch, 12 June 1712. *** SHE MAY BE WHERE THE NAME COMES FROM. *** Cecilia Maria du Plessis (PER-001346, 1857-1895) is her 3x-great-granddaughter down the du Plessis male line, and Cecilia is not a common name in this record. A naming pattern six generations long is a hypothesis, not a finding - 5b. [TO VERIFY]
[FS] Added 23 Aug 2026 from the FamilySearch parents view of Daniel du PlessisH supplied by Frans. Thin record; no place imported.
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.
