George Augustus Kolbe of Bethulie
TAKEN PRISONER IN 1901, AGED 32, AT STERKFONTEIN IN THE BETHULIE DISTRICT, AND RECORDED AS A FREE STATER. TNA WO 108/368 folio 581. Sent to Natal. THE SECOND MAN OF THAT NAME IN THE SAME LIST — the first being GEORGE AUGUSTUS KOLBE OF BURGERSDORP, whom this archive identified from the Wakkerstroom stones. Bethulie is on the Orange River, in the country the Settler preached across. AND THIRTEEN YEARS LATER A G. A. KOLBE OF BETHULIE IS PRESIDENT OF THE ORANGE FREE STATE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. The British press, 26 June to 22 July 1914: “MR. G. A. KOLBE (BETHULIE)” in the delegate list printed by the Daily Telegraph; “MR G. A. KOLBE, PRESIDENT OF THE ORANGE FREE STATE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION AND CHAIRMAN OF THE ORANGE FREE STATE DELEGATION” at the Royal Agricultural Society’s show, in the Western Daily Press, Dundee Courier, Cork Free Press and Exeter and Plymouth Gazette of 2 July; and on 22 July the Daily Malta Chronicle has him sending A TELEGRAM OF RESPECTFUL GREETING TO QUEEN WILHELMINA on the delegation’s behalf. SAME INITIALS, SAME DISTRICT, THIRTEEN YEARS APART — from a prisoner’s number to the head of the Free State’s farmers. NO DESCENT FROM THE SETTLER IS CLAIMED HERE.

No family is drawn here, because none is recorded. This archive holds George Augustus Kolbe of Bethulie 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 →

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.
