Navorsingsnotas

[7 Aug 2026, FROM FAMILYSEARCH] SHE IS A SISTER OF THE SAAIRIVIER WOMAN. Born Prince Albert 26 October 1860, married 9 August 1880, died Prince Albert 17 August 1945. Her parents are Hendrik Willem Storm NiehausM [PER-001527] and Engela Susara Botes [PER-001526] - the couple of the Vredendal stone - which makes her a full sister of Gertruida Elizabeth Jacoba [PER-001561], who lies at Saairivier near Leeu-Gamka. TWO SISTERS, TWO BOTES HUSBANDS, TWO BURIAL GROUNDS 60 KM APART. And the name goes round in a circle: her mother was a Botes who married a Niehaus, and she is a Niehaus who married a Botes, carrying her mother's given names both ways. [FS]

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.
