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.

A sibling of PER-001816, Kola's maternal grandfather. In scope as a direct ancestor's sibling. *** A NAMESAKE TRAP, FLAGGED BEFORE IT BITES. *** She is CHRISTINA ELIZABETH NEL 1846-1908, and her own niece PER-000763 is CHRISTINA ELISABETH NEL 1867-1895, Kola's mother. Aunt and niece, one name, twenty-one years apart. 9.

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.
