The citation as it was given
CHECKED RATHER THAN IMPORTED. All seventeen people on these two pages were ALREADY in this model with their FamilySearch ids, so nothing was created. Three rows gained a date they were missing and nothing else changed. IT CORROBORATES THE 1987 MEMOIR ON THE POINT THAT MATTERS. Trudie's typescript says her mother's father was kin to a president; his household here holds BOTH candidate surnames - his wife is MAGDALENA MARIA KRUGER, and their son born 1911 is JACOBUS ABRAHAM SMUTS WALTERS. The Kruger is a wife and the Smuts is a given name, which is the pattern this record uses for a surname carried out of the ancestry. LEAD-0164. ONE CHILD OF THE VAN RENSBURG MARRIAGE IS MARKED LIVING on FamilySearch and is flagged living=1 here, so she is suppressed from any publication regardless of the family exemption. That is the rule working as intended and it is noted so nobody 'corrects' the empty dates.
Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
