Research notes
Added 10 Aug 2026 by a second pass over the TANAP MOOC8 corpus, this time for van der Merwe, Louw and Burger. The 30 July index covered ten surnames and none of them was these, because the van der Merwe line did not enter this model until 9 August.
The research behind this page, kept separate from it: dated working notes, open questions, and what is not yet settled.
