Ander van dieselfde naam

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.

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

[7 Aug 2026] Brought into the project from a gravestone. eGGSA photograph and transcribe the stone in the Prince Albert NG Kerk cemetery as 'Jacobus Petrus RossouwL 1848-1933'; the family tree holds a person of that name whose birth AND death years both agree exactly. HOW THIS PERSON CONNECTS TO THE PROJECT: 3 steps - child of Anna Susanna Rossouw → sibling of David Johannes Rossouw → parent of Elsje Dorothea Maryna RossouwM - who is Elsje Dorothea Maryna RossouwM [PER-001355], already here. The path is drawn from the private tree's parentage and marriages, which is what [TREE] kinship rests on; the tree's PLACES are not used. Matched on name plus both years, never on name alone.

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.
