Pieter Van Der Byl
? – 1800
No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1777, because their mother born 1735, 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.

A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.
Navorsingsnotas
[TREE] Added 6 Aug 2026 under LEAD-0116, to make a descent this site ALREADY ASSERTS walkable in its own data. Generation 8 of the anchor family's direct ancestry, on one of the ten lines set out in [S021]. NO PLACE IMPORTED, per 5. Dates as the tree gives them. This row exists to carry a link, and a tree is not a register: nothing here is established until the Cape records are read, which is what S021's provisional banner says.
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.
