George Augustus Kolbe of 1914
A MINOR IN 1919, AND THE FOURTH GEORGE AUGUSTUS KOLBE IN THIS ARCHIVE. His father’s death notice names him as the only child: “George Augustus Kolbe. Minderjarig, geboren 2 Julie 1914.” He was four when his father died and he carries his grandfather’s name entire, which is what this family does — the same grandfather who outlived the father by thirty-six years. HIS PARENTS’ WILL WAS WRITTEN FIVE WEEKS BEFORE HE WAS BORN, on 30 May 1914, and provides for them dying without a child; by the time it was read in 1919 he was its heir, taking the immovable property in equal shares with his mother, she holding usufruct over his portion for life. NOTHING IS KNOWN OF HIM AFTER 1919. Born more than a century ago and so published in full under the estate’s eighty-year rule; no death, no marriage and no descendants are claimed, because none has been read.

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.
