Research notes

Father of Cecilia van MaarseveenH (PER-001904). The chart spells this generation van MARSEVEEN and the next van MAARSEVEEN; both are kept as they stand, per 5a note 6. Behind him the chart gives JOHANNES VAN MAARSEVEEN (1630-1655) and GERRIGJE VAN MAARSEVEEN (d.1759) - and a father dying in 1655, the year his son was born, is the kind of detail a compiled tree produces and a register would have to confirm. [TO VERIFY]

[FS] Added 23 Aug 2026 from a FamilySearch fan chart of Daniel du PlessisM supplied by Frans. Thin record; no place imported.| *** BOUNDED BY 9a. *** This is the head of a trail leading out of the district, and the rule is that such a thread 'gets one story and a bounded set of records. It does not get grown.' The generation that CROSSED is recorded; the French generations behind it are written into the note on PER-001905 and given no rows of their own.

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.
