Hendrik Jacobus Mostert

active die 1860s

No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1847, because their child born 1863, so at least 16 years earlier. That is a hard limit, it cannot be otherwise. 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

[11 Aug 2026] A DIRECT ANCESTOR, named on ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS rather than taken from a tree: he is named as the father of Sibella Aletta Sophia MostertH on her 1863 Calvinia baptism entry (SRC-402) and on her 1942 sterfkennis (SRC-403), where the form writes him HENDRIK JACOB. A grandson, Hendrik Jacobus Bruyn, carries his name. NO FAMILYSEARCH ID YET, which is a gap worth closing - the standing rule for imports on this project is that a row should carry one so it can be re-checked against the live tree. Name and the family link only; no dates and no place beyond what the documents give.

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.
