Navorsingsnotas

[31 Jul 2026 SRC-168] Witness at Jan de BruinM's baptism alongside Willem MeijerM. Shares a surname with the mother, Anna LootsM - the usual reading is a sister of the mother, and the vernoemingspatroon work in 5b makes maternal kin the commonest witnesses. Recorded as a reading, not a fact.

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.
