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 NelM - and the middle is compiled tree.
Named as the mother on SRC-630, where the clerk writes 'Susanna Henderina Lonisa Louw'. Married Elias Albertus NelL at Tulbagh on 5 November 1809, aged about eighteen. SHE IS WHY HER SON IS A GIDEON: the witness at his 1813 baptism is Jacobis Gidion Louw, her own people. Died 1834, the same year as her husband and two of her children.
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.
