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.

Navorsingsnotas

A worker on Droogekloof in the drought of 1926-1929, remembered by name and in her own words in two family memoirs (SRC-585, SRC-586's frame): she stormed the werf with a blade of lean meat - 'hoe dink die maaster nou moet ek hierdie stuk bloumaer vleis eet?' - and the farmer answered that the only fat thing left on the place was himself. She and her husband tended the trek to the Langkloof through which 1,500 of 5,000 sheep and goats survived. Created under 6's story route: the story needed somebody to be about, and she is one of the few farm workers of this district the record preserves by name and voice. No dates; an adult in 1926, so long deceased.

Floruit 1926/1929, stated by both memoirs: the drought years she worked and spoke through. Route 3 publishability, honestly grounded.

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.
