Jan Gerthardus Lodewikus Booijsen
Fifth on his father’s 1876 notice, and named for the man at the top of the line. HIS is the estate TAB MHG O/2899, which this archive had spent months attributing to his nephew of the same name born in 1855 — the Transvaal probate index gives him as the deceased, aged 67, born district Graaff-Reinet, died 25 May 1885 at Vaalbank in the district of Lichtenburg. His daughter Magdalena Susanna Maria died on the same farm in 1920, and her death notice names him. He is how this family reaches the western Transvaal.
The 1876 notice lists eight children and names no mother for any of them. They are drawn under this marriage because it is the only one recorded — not because the document says so.

What the archive holds
Fifth on his father’s 1876 notice, and named for the man at the top of the line. HIS is the estate TAB MHG O/2899, which this archive had spent months attributing to his nephew of the same name born in 1855 — the Transvaal probate index gives him as the deceased, aged 67, born district Graaff-Reinet, died 25 May 1885 at Vaalbank in the district of Lichtenburg. His daughter Magdalena Susanna Maria died on the same farm in 1920, and her death notice names him. He is how this family reaches the western Transvaal.

What changed
…The date had no source except the file number. The Transvaal probate index names the estate's deceased in full: Jan Gerardus Lodewicus Booijzen, aged 67, born district Graaff-Reinet, died 25 May 1885 at Vaalbank, district Lichtenburg — born about 1818, which is his UNCLE, fifth on the 1876 Sterfkennis. The nephew's death date is withdrawn and nothing is known about what became of him. The particular error is worth naming: the archive read a year off a reference number, wrote it in as a fact, and then cited the fact back.…
The documents
…Child, as written What this archive already knew David Schalk Booijsen — Magdalena Johanna Booijsen — Petrus Jacobus Booijsen generation five , b. 10 May 1812, the farmer at Zevenfontein who signed the 1863 death notice Anna Eliezabet Booijsen — Jan Gerthardus Lodewikus Booijsen — Eliezabet Cornelia Booijsen — Hendrik Stefanus Booijsen signed this notice Anna Maria Booijsen — Seven of these eight were unknown to this archive an hour ago. And three of the names — David Schalk , Magdalena Johanna , Jan Gerthardus Lodewikus — are the same names that appear on the 1863 death notice as children of Petrus Jacobus the younger , born 1848, 1853 and 1855.…
…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. FamilySearch's index of the same Transvaal probate series gives the estate's deceased in full: What the index says Name Jan Gerardus Lodewicus Booijzen Relationship Deceased Age 67 Birthplace Distrik Graaf Reinet — birth year about 1818 Died 25 May 1885 Death place Vaalbank, distrik Lichtenburg ark 1:1:QPTJ-R6KB and 1:1:Q2DG-52P9 , two index passes over the same estate. A man born in 1818 is not a man born in 1855.…

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.
