Christiaan 'Kraffie' de Wit (Scholtzkloof)

active 1977 · de Wit line

No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1916, because their spouse born 1891, 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.

Navorsingsnotas

Thin record. SRC-172, Helena MarincowitzM, *Prince Albert and the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902)*, Fransie Pienaar Museum, 1999, p.34: Miemie de WitH (PER-002051) 'was married to Christiaan de Wit (Kraffie) of Scholtzkloof'. He is here because he is why the eyewitness of the Remhoogte grave is recorded under the name de Wit rather than du Plessis, which is exactly the kind of join that goes missing. No dates are known and none are guessed. [TO VERIFY] A SECOND de WIT APPEARS IN THE SAME BOOK AND IS NOT KNOWN TO BE RELATED: p.35, Fritz de Wit of Prince Albert, previously farmed Damascus, whose father Jan said the English and the Boers fought behind Kredouw.

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.
