A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

Research notes

[SRC-074] Sibling of Frans's great-grandmother Francoise Jeanne DuminyM (PER-000076) and of Maria Johanna, who married into the Zeekoegat Oosthuizens.

[31 Jul 2026 SRC-146] Gravestone supplied by Frans. Dates sharpened from bare years to 7 December 1897 - 15 February 1999, and her MARRIED SURNAME recorded for the first time: SEARLE. She lived 101 years and 2 months, which the >100 rule in fs_corrections.py flagged as worth confirming - and it is confirmed, not corrected. Worth noting why the rule was a poor bet here: of the fourteen Duminy siblings in this model, nine died aged over eighty. The stone opens with LAAS GEBORENE, 'last born', and she is indeed the youngest of them. See GRV-0024.

[31 Jul 2026] MERGED PER-000687 into this row. Duplicate created by the 31 Jul 2026 one-degree tree pull: kin_sweep.py matched on tree id only, so a person already in the model WITHOUT a tree id was added a second time. Same display name AND same full birth date - name plus date, not name alone. Survivor is the pre-existing row; it carries the research. Moved across: sex=F; tree id=.

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.

Open questions

Where is Charlotte Searle born Duminy buried, and where did the photograph come from? priority 3 · LEAD-0022
The gravestone (SRC-146) settles her dates and gives her married surname, but the image carries no cemetery and no archive reference, so nobody can check it.

What would settle it The eGGSA item number, or Frans naming the cemetery.
