Three of the girls wear the same white shirt and dark braces - a school gymslip - and the youngest, in a white dress with a bow in her hair, sits on her sister's lap.

DIRECT ANCESTOR - Frans's great-grandmother, also missing until now. BRUIJN/BRUYN is a new surname for the project; her son Hubertus Bruyn van der MerweH carries it forward as a given name. [SRC-074]

[11 Aug 2026, SRC-398] HER BIRTH YEAR IS CORRECTED FROM 1895 TO 1894. The Calvinia baptism register, entry 321, gives "Geb. 12 Junie 1894, Ged. 8 September 1894" and names both parents, who are the parents this row already held. The day and month were always right; the year was one out, and a baptism three months after the birth leaves no room to argue it. The gravestone at Williston reads 1895-1953 and her 1953 estate file estimates 1896; neither is a birth record. SHE WAS BAPTISED AT CALVINIA on 8 September 1894, which is new, and her witnesses were Johannes Paulus Kotze, Maria Magdalena Louw, Jacoba Margaretha Hendrikse and John Gabriel O'Reilly.

[15 Aug 2026, FAMILY] CALLED KITTIE, the everyday form of Catharina, given with the photograph MED-000061.

[16 Aug 2026, MED-000105] HER GRAVESTONE GIVES 1895, THIS ROW GIVES 1894. The stone reads "GEB 12 JUNIE 1895 - OORL 17 APRIL 1953"; the model has 12 June 1894 and the same death date. Same day and month, one year apart, and neither is corrected: a stone is cut by the family and a register is written by a clerk, and both get things wrong. LEAD-0211. [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.

Die werksnotas op hierdie werf word in Engels gehou en word nie vertaal nie. Hulle verander met elke navorsingsessie, en 'n vertaling sou uit pas raak met die oorspronklike. Alles anders - die stories, die getranskribeerde dokumente en die koppelvlak - is in Afrikaans.
