The citation as it was given
Catalogue entry only - the document is UNREAD. DESCRIPTION as the index gives it: 'SMIT, CORNELIA SUSANNA. WIFE OF OCKERT JACOBUS OOSTHUIZEN. WILL.' | THE IDENTIFICATION IS CLOSED BY DATES, NOT BY THE NAME. 9 forbids matching an Afrikaans name alone, and Ockert Jacobus Oosthuizen is carried by several men here. Three things agree instead: the wife's full name matches UNI-000084, Ockert Jacobus Oosthuizen and Cornelia Susanna Smit; the husband is PER-000124; and the will was FILED IN 1856, the year he died, on 1856-06-06. LEAD-0263.
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.
