Anna Dorotea Botes
No dates recorded · Botes line
No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1847, because their spouse born 1822, 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.

What we don't know
- No birth date is recorded.
- No death date is recorded.

- No dated record ties this person to a specific piece of ground.
- Nothing dated is recorded about them at all, they are here because another record names them.
A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.
