Wat ons nie weet nie
- Geen geboortedatum is aangeteken nie.
- Geen sterfdatum is aangeteken nie.
- Nie een ouer is aangeteken nie, dus hang hierdie mens nie aan die boom bo hom of haar nie.
- Geen gedateerde rekord bind hierdie mens aan 'n bepaalde stuk grond nie.
- Niks gedateerds is hoegenaamd oor hulle aangeteken nie; hulle is hier omdat 'n ander rekord hulle noem.
A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.
Navorsingsnotas
[31 Jul 2026 inbox] Named on SG dgm 388/1816 (DOC-0074), Vrolykheid No. 61, Tulbagh. Southern neighbour. INITIALS ONLY - deliberately NOT matched to anyone in the tree. THE ONE THAT MATTERS. A de Bruin holds ground beside a farm called Vrolykheid at Tulbagh in 1816; Jan de BruinM (PER-000048, 1769-1822) holds the loan farm Rondabel in the Koup by 1818 and dies on it, married to Aletta Johanna OosthuizenM (PER-000049). Two de Bruins, two districts, two years apart. Whether they are one family is unproven and is now the sharpest test available for both LEAD-0010 and LEAD-0014.
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.
