Anna Catharina Johanna Olivier
THE FIRST WIFE OF HENDRIK STEFANUS BOOIJSEN, and for a week this archive had her filed as a stranger. Her own Sterfkennis 6332 gives her parents as OCKEN JOHANNES OLIEFIER and ANNA JOHANNA BOTHA, her age as 67 years 8 months and 1 day, her farm as BRAKFONTEIN — which this archive read as Boekfontein — and her surname as OLIEFIER, which this archive read as Alberts. She was still married when she died: her husband outlived her by seventeen years and remarried at Zeerust eleven months later. Seven children, all of age: Petrus Jacobus, Ocken Johannes, Anna Johanna Maria, Elesabettha Maria Cornelya, Alettha Catrina Johanna, Magdalena Johanna, Hendrick Stefanus Nicolaas. Her father is where OCKERT JOHANNES came into this family — and her 1824 baptism gives his name entire, OCKERT JOHANNES STEPHANUS OLIVIER, which is exactly what her son was called. She married Hendrik Stephanus Booijzen at POTCHEFSTROOM on 3 JULY 1850, entry 206, she 25 and he 23 — the earliest evidence this archive has of this family north of the Vaal, twenty-six years before the 1876 death at Rustenburg and two years before the Sand River Convention.
This archive filed her for a week as a stranger called Anna Johanna Booijzen BORN ALBERTS who died at BOEKFONTEIN. Both readings were wrong, and together they kept a documented wife and two documented children off this family.

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.
