Marais

Die formele doopnaam en die naam waarop iemand werklik geroep is, word albei gehou, en nie een word van die ander afgelei nie. Spelling wat van rekord tot rekord verskil, is self getuienis en nie geraas nie.

Klik op enige naam, dan word dieselfde drie geslagte om daardie mens getrek. Daar is nie 'n stampaar hier nie, en ook nie 'n bopunt aan die boom nie: dit wys net die familie wat die naaste aan die mens staan oor wie jy lees, en 'n oop plek is 'n gaping in die rekord eerder as 'n uitspraak oor iemand.

Wie by 'n doop, 'n testament of 'n opmeting geteken het, is nie bykomstig nie. Dit is die duidelikste oorblywende rekord van watter families naby mekaar gestaan het.

Wat ons nie weet nie

A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

Navorsingsnotas

[3 Aug 2026, SRC-200] THIN RECORD, created because this person STOOD AS A BAPTISM WITNESS at Beaufort West in 1840 (BWB-269-06, veldkornetskap Esterhuizen, page 269) AND is connected to the families this project is built on. KINSHIP PATH, 8 steps to Ockert Almero and Adriana Cecilia: child of Paulus Stephanus Marais -> child of Hester Retief -> child of François Rétif -> sibling of Anne Rétif -> parent of Magdalena RousseauM -> parent of Martha du PlessisM -> parent of Jan Louis VenterL -> parent of Adriana Cecilia VenterM. IDENTIFIED ON NAME + DATE, not on the name alone: the name is unique among 44,143 people in the private tree and the tree's dates put this person alive and adult at that font. 22 of 52 unique-name matches from this register were REJECTED because the chronology forbade them. [TO VERIFY] Nothing beyond the tree's own dates and this one appearance is claimed here.

[9 Aug 2026] MERGED PER-001642 into this row. Same woman, 1782-1853. PER-001395 came in on 3 Aug because she stood as a baptism witness at Beaufort West in 1840; PER-001642 came in on 9 Aug off a FamilySearch fan chart as a direct ancestor. The witness row is the older and better documented one and survives, carrying across the FamilySearch id 2SX7-Z17 the new row brought. That she was already here as a WITNESS and turns out to be a direct ancestor is the witness seam doing what the About page says it does. Moved across: given=Hester; sex=F; line=van der Merwe; familysearch_id=2SX7-Z17. DISAGREEMENTS, kept rather than resolved - the FamilySearch id settles these in one click: display_name: kept 'Hester MaraisH', PER-001642 said 'Hester MaraisH (1782-1853)'.

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.
