[17 Aug 2026] SIBLING OF PETRUS GIDEON VAN RENSBURG [PER-000173], Frans's great-grandfather, and therefore an aunt or uncle of Maria Magritha "Ria" van Rensburg. In scope under 6, which takes direct ancestors together with their siblings.

THE TREE SAYS SHE DIED AT THREE. THE FAMILY SAYS THEY MET HER. [FAMILY] His sister martha did exist and family did meet her at some point. The private tree gives her death as 27 November 1896, eleven weeks after the mother whose names she carried; that date is NOT carried into this row while the two accounts disagree, and the row shows her birth only.

THE DATE IS THE WEAKER OF THE TWO CLAIMS, and three things say so. Her death place in the tree is the vague "Cape Province" where every sibling has a town. She has no spouse and no children there, which is what a record looks like when it stops rather than when a life ends. And 27 November 1896 sits eleven weeks after her mother's death, which is exactly where a mother's date gets attached to a child of the same names. [TO VERIFY] LEAD-0212.

SO THE ANSWER TO WHEN AND WHERE SHE WAS BORN STANDS: 5 SEPTEMBER 1893, AT VAN WYKSVLEI.

Source: the private family tree, which holds seven children for this couple. [TREE] Dates are the tree's and are not register-precise. NO PLACE STRING IS IMPORTED into a place field - 5 - but Van Wyksvlei is repeated by the tree for three of the siblings AND is given independently for Petrus Gideon by SRC-074, so it is written here in words as the family's ground rather than as a resolved place.

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.
