Navorsingsnotas

A DIRECT ANCESTOR at nine generations - the closest of the three to the present - by way of the MOCKE line: Elisabeth Rebecca van BengalenH -> Apollonia Jansz van de CaabH -> Sophia Rebecca PlagmanM -> Frederik Simon MockeL -> Sophia Johanna MockeM -> and onward. Married to Carel Jansz van Bengal, so both parents of the next generation carry the toponym. NO PLACE IS ASSERTED HERE. The private tree gives a birthplace, but this project treats the tree's place strings as hostile and they are least reliable exactly where they matter most - on people carried across an ocean. The toponym in the NAME is what the Cape record itself used and is recorded as written. VERIFICATION ROUTE: the First Fifty Years project, which transcribes the Cape records of 1652 onward and documents enslaved and free-black people rather than only settlers. Nothing here should be repeated as established until it is checked against a transcribed record. [TREE] [TO VERIFY]

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

FamilySearch ids for the enslaved and free-black ancestors, and for Anthony van de Kaap prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0112
Eleven people at the head of this family — the ten of S021 plus Catharina van PalliacattaM — and the one enslaved man in the family's own estate papers carry no FamilySearch id between them. Which of them have profiles, and what are the ids?

Wat dit sou uitmaak An id per person, or a recorded finding that no profile exists.
Import the nine Cape descent chains - they are Frans's own ancestry, generation 9 to 13 prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0116
Eight of S021's ten have no recorded child in this model, so the site names a descent it cannot walk. The private tree holds every chain. Importing them means about fifty new person rows across the de Wet, Mocke, Duminy, Snyman, van Dyk, Janse van Vuuren, Smuts and du Preez lines. Is that in scope?

Wat dit sou uitmaak Frans deciding. A middle course exists: import only the chains that reach families the site actually writes about, and leave the rest as a stated gap on the page.
