Izaak Jacobus van der Merwe

No dates recorded · live

No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1861, because their spouse born 1836, within 25 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.

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.

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

Named in the death notice of ANNA JACOBA VAN DER MERWE, GEBORE LOUW, 3 March 1868 (SRC-479), as the husband of one of her nine surviving children. The notice gives his name and nothing else - no dates, no place, no farm.

In scope as the spouse of a sibling of a direct ancestor. A thin row on purpose. [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.
