Anna Loots

active 1769 · Loots line

No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1753, because their child born 1769, so at least 16 years earlier. That is a hard limit, it cannot be otherwise. It is an upper bound and not a birth year, and nothing in the model records it as one.

Navorsingsnotas

[31 Jul 2026 SRC-168] MOTHER OF JAN DE BRUIN (PER-000048). A second Loots, ELISABETH (PER-000512), stands witness at the same baptism - very likely her sister, though the register does not say so and 9 forbids resting on a surname. Loots is a new family in this model.

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.

Oop vrae

Which congregation baptised Jan de Bruijn in 1769? prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0030
The register page (SRC-168) gives the entry in full but not the church. If it is Roodezand/Tulbagh, the de Bruin family is a Tulbagh family and the Vrolykheid name-transfer of LEAD-0010 has a documented carrier. If it is Drakenstein or Swellendam, it does not.
