Navorsingsnotas

Frans's maternal grandmother. Widowed 8 Apr 1968. Bought the Varschefontein Remainder and Welbedacht in 1973 (T30432/1973) under her married name MARINCOWITZ, having married Gert Annis Oosthuizen "Tokkie" Marincowitz (PER-000007). Transferred to a family trustM in 1997. She had remarried before the purchase, which is why the 1973 deed is in the name Marincowitz. She never lived on Varschefontein; the purchase completed a plan she and Frans van der Merwe had held for a long time .

[10 Aug 2026, SRC-374] Melville gives her as Maria MAGDALENA van der Merwe born 23 October 1928; this model holds Maria MAGRITHA born 28 October 1928. A five-day difference and a different second name. Both recorded, neither preferred. LEAD-0155.

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.

Die werksnotas op hierdie werf word in Engels gehou en word nie vertaal nie. Hulle verander met elke navorsingsessie, en 'n vertaling sou uit pas raak met die oorspronklike. Alles anders — die stories, die getranskribeerde dokumente en die koppelvlak — is in Afrikaans.
