Navorsingsnotas

[11 Aug 2026, SRC-391] Imported 11 Aug 2026 as a SIBLING of a direct ancestor, with a FamilySearch id so the row can be re-checked against the live tree. Name, dates and the family link only. NO PLACE IMPORTED: the tree's place strings are systematically wrong and are not evidence. NAMED ON HIS FATHER'S 1866 DEATH NOTICE (SRC-346), which lists nine children in order; this is one of them. That is an original document and it is why this row is safe to make.

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.
