Others of the same name
Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.
What we don't know
- No death date is recorded.
- Neither parent is recorded, so this person is not attached to the tree above them.
- No dated record ties this person to a specific piece of ground.
- 1 other person in this model carry the same name. Never match on a name alone.
A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.
Research notes
[11 Aug 2026, SRC-411] IMPORTED FROM THE SON'S family-tree UNDER A NARROW RULE. [FAMILY] The file is a reference to consult, not a tree to ingest, and the only people to take from it are HIS OWN DIRECT ANCESTORS - scoped that afternoon to the FOUR PATERNAL LINES of his four grandparents, father to father, and nothing before the 1650s.. Six people in those four lines were missing and this is one of them. NAME, YEARS AND THE FATHER-LINK ONLY. No place: the same file was checked against four people this project corrected from original documents the same day and had the older wrong value on ALL FOUR, so it is ranked as a compiled tree and not as evidence. VAN RENSBURG line. He fills a gap BETWEEN two rows this model already has - Jacobus Janse van Rensburg 1815-1895 and Barend Johannes 1766-1802 - so the line was previously joined across a missing generation.
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.
