Research notes
[FS batch, 7 Sep 2026] Added from the FamilySearch family-group view THESE ARE DIRECT ANCESTORS OF FRANS AND THEIR SIBLINGS, which 6's scope rule admits outright - the Nel line runs to Kola's mother. Years and FamilySearch ids only, no places: the tree's place strings are hostile and none is imported. The two ends of the line are on documents - SRC-630 for the 1813 baptism, SRC-399/SRC-400 for the 1867 baptism of Christina Elizabeth NelH - and the middle is compiled tree.
Married Jacobus Gideon NelH (PER-002053) at Clanwilliam on 2 February 1834 and outlived him by twenty-nine years. Mother of PER-001816 and so Kola's great-grandmother. NOTE THE TWO LOUW MARRIAGES IN SUCCESSIVE GENERATIONS: her husband's own mother was also a Louw (PER-002056). Whether the two women were kin is not established here.
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.
