The citation as it was given
"As I have it, the first Almero, or his parents, lived at Citrusdal. In fact I have been to the property that still stands." Recorded as told, source to be found. INDEPENDENTLY CORROBORATED by the family-tree, which gives Ockert Almaro Oosthuizen (1755-1809) a death place of CITRUSDAL - and that is a place-field the project otherwise treats as hostile, so family memory arriving at the same answer from the other direction raises it well above the usual family-tree confidence. THE BUILDING IS A RESEARCH ASSET: a standing structure Frans has stood in. Photographs, an address and a title-deed search would turn a remembered place into a documented one.
Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
