…Index-only, ambiguous, and FamilySearch blocked the follow-up before the image could be reached. Written down as a lead and not as a child. Withdrawn — “he died in the Transvaal at about thirty” · Taken back This archive gave estate TAB MHG O/2899 to Jan Gerhardus Lodewicus Booysen, born 4 December 1855, the seventh child on the 1863 death notice, and wrote a death date of 1885 into his life on that basis.

The documents

…Since the Transvaal references were first pulled out of NAAIRS, this archive has carried a row saying TAB MHG O/2899 — Jan Gerhardus Lodewikus Booyzen — 1885 , and attached it to the seventh child on the 1863 death notice: Jan Gerhardus Lodewicus Booysen, born 4 December 1855 . His entry on the people index read "he died in the Transvaal at about thirty." He did not. That sentence had no source except the estate reference itself. The archive read the year off the file number, wrote it into his life as a death date, and then quoted the death date back as if it were evidence.…

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.
