No household in this archive names this person, as a child or as a parent. They are here because a record names them, and that record stands alone.

Every record naming Anna Catharina Fortman →

No family is drawn here, because none is recorded. This archive holds Anna Catharina Fortman as a name on a document — a witness at a font, a signature on a form, a person named in someone else's list — and has no record of who their parents, spouse or children were. That is a statement about the sources, not about the person. Every record naming them →

The Name

…De Villiers, volume 3, entry 876: “ Willem Slier, van Hamburg , gehuwd 19 November 1780 met Anna Catharina Fortman.” It is a German name. Schlier or Schleer, spoken by a Hamburger and written down by Cape clerks who had never seen it on paper — which is exactly how one woman ends up with five surnames in five documents inside one lifetime. Nobody argues that the Sliers changed their name. Nobody proposes that Hier is a branch of the family or that Schleher marks a generation.…

A dossier is every mention of a person anywhere in this archive, gathered automatically after the site is built and linked back to the page it appears on. Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual — where two people share a name they share this page, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Nothing on a dossier page is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.
