Research notes

[FS batch, 2 Sep 2026] Added from FamilySearch descendancy views, to make the KLEU/KLUE naming pattern testable against the search for SUSANNA MARIA KLUE, the transferee of Vaste Water in 1923 (PER-000326). *** WHY A BATCH THIS SIZE IS HERE AT ALL, STATED SO IT IS NOT MISTAKEN FOR CREEP. *** These people hold no ground in this district and 9a's test would normally stop them at the door. Frans's reason is the vernoemingspatroon: SRC-613 shows Johannes Diederich Kleu named for JOHANNES DEDERICK FERREIRA, his mother's people, at the font in 1870, so naming in this family tracks kin and a sibship list is the instrument for finding a Susanna Maria. EVERY ROW IS FROM A COMPILED TREE. Years only, no places, no documents. Nothing here is evidence and none of it should be cited as such. LEAD-0332.

[SRC-618, 3 Sep 2026] BORN 10 SEPTEMBER 1904, BAPTISED AT OUDTSHOORN ON 30 OCTOBER 1904, entry 91 on leaf 232 of the congregation's register, son of SAREL PETRUS KLUE and CHRISTINA WILHELMINA VAN DER WESTHUIZEN, witnesses Cornelis J. Klue and Helena M. Marais. *** THIS IS THE FIRST DOCUMENT BEHIND ANY ROW OF THE 2 SEPTEMBER KLEU BATCH. *** He came in from a FamilySearch descendancy view as a bare year, under a note saying in terms that nothing in that batch was evidence. The register gives him a birth day, a baptism day, both parents exactly as the tree has them, and a district. His witness is his own namesake and is not identified: several Cornelis Johannes KleuLs stand in this model and the vernoemingspatroon makes an uncle or a grandfather likely without saying which.

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.
