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
[SRC-010, Rose Willis, Klaarstroom cameo] Second wife of Petrus OosthuizenM, married after 21 Nov 1842; ten children. With his first marriage's eleven that is twenty-one children. [TO VERIFY]
*** RE-ATTRIBUTED 31 Jul 2026: NOT an Oosthuizen wife. She is the wife of PETRUS JOHANNES MEIRING (b. Swellendam 30 Nov 1799, d. 2 Jan 1876), the man Meiringspoort is named for. I attached her to Petrus OosthuizenM in error the same day. Row kept because ids are permanent, and she is worth holding: Meiring is a real figure in this district's story. ***
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.

The village at the centre of this project's anchor was laid out on his land in 1858-60 and originally named Petersburg for him. He is not in the model's family. Where does he sit, and is he a descendant of the root couple?
