IDENTIFIED 7 Sep 2026, closing the second half of LEAD-0336. SRC-172, Helena MarincowitzM, *Prince Albert and the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902)*, Fransie Pienaar Museum, 1999, p.34: she gave the interview at 85 in 1977, 'passed away in 1978', and 'was married to Christiaan de Wit (Kraffie) of Scholtzkloof' (PER-002069, UNI-000359). HER ACCOUNT IS SRC-632 AND IT IS THE SOURCE OF EVERYTHING ELSE. She is the reason this project can say what happened in that house: 'I was a ten year old girl at the time of the Boer War and lived on the farm Remhoogte.' The red waistcoat, the address in its pocket, the night burial, and Kleu's parents answering 'Let him rest' are hers and are found nowhere earlier. THE TWO STATEMENTS OF HER AGE DISAGREE BY A YEAR AND BOTH ARE KEPT. Ten years old 'at the time of the Boer War' points at 1891 if she meant February 1901, which is what her story is about; 85 in 1977 points at 1891 or 1892 depending on the month. birth_edtf stays 1891~ rather than being sharpened, because neither statement is a record and 3 forbids inventing the precision. [TO VERIFY] MIEMIE IS A NOEMNAAM AND HER DOOPNAAM IS NOT KNOWN. 5b: it is the everyday form of Maria, and this project already holds a Miemie for Maria Susanna Jacoba. Nothing here says which Maria she was, so the doopnaam field stays empty rather than carrying a guess.

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.
