Research notes
[30 Sep 2026, SRC-702] From the FamilySearch detail view SECOND WIFE OF PER-001657, married 15 July 1759 at TULBAGH. She is very probably the mother of PER-001639 Carel Aaron and therefore of this whole direct line: the first wife died in 1756, Carel Aaron was born in 1771, and no third marriage is recorded. THAT IS AN INFERENCE FROM THE DATES AND IS MARKED AS ONE - a baptism entry naming the mother would settle it. [TO VERIFY]
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.
