Gert Adriaan Janse van Vuuren
active 1863 · Janse van Vuuren line
No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1856, because their mother born 1814, at most 42 at the birth. That rests on an assumption about ordinary childbearing ages, not on a document. It is an upper bound and not a birth year, and nothing in the model records it as one.

Navorsingsnotas
[SRC-249] Fifth-named child on his father's 1863 death notice. THE NAME IS THE INTERESTING PART: his father's sister Catharina Adriana (PER-000605) married GERT ADRIAAN OOSTHUIZEN (PER-000127), so a van Vuuren boy is carrying his uncle-by-marriage's name. Under the Cape naming pattern the later sons go to uncles, which is the pattern doing exactly what it should - and it is independent support for the Oosthuizen marriage being close family rather than a distant tie.
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.
