Lysbeth Sanders

? – voor 1714 · van Bengale line

No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1704, because their sibling born 1659, within 45 years. That rests on an assumption about ordinary childbearing ages, not on a document. It is an upper bound and not a birth year, and nothing in the model records it as one.

Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.

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

Navorsingsnotas

[SRC-259] The generation between Louis van BengaleM and Clara HerbstL. The Tulbagh book does not name her - it says only that Clara was the GRANDDAUGHTER of the freed slave Louis of Bengal - so her identity comes from the private tree and the book supplies the position. Recorded here so the descent is visible rather than implied. Her own dates are unknown; the bound shown is her daughter's death. [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.
