- 13 Sep 2026 — The ancestor chart, every wife one generation too high
The chart put each man's wife in his mother's box. Kathleen Barry stood as Willem Hermanus Booyzen's mother when she was his wife; Johanna Catharina Mountjoy stood as Petrus Jacobus Booysen's mother when she was his; and the woman at the root had no mother drawn at all. Four slots, all shifted by one. Rebuilt, and the genuinely empty slot — the mother of the 1812 man — is now a wall. Where it stands → - 17 Sep 2026 — Seventeen people had a page saying they are “not yet discussed on any page”
Among them GEORGE AUGUSTUS KOLBE, the 1820 Settler, named 155 times in the built site; JOHN BARRY, 158; GEORGE MOUNTJOY, 140; PETRUS JACOBUS BOOYSEN, 110; JOHANNA CATHARINA MOUNTJOY, 89. THE DATA WAS FINE AND THE BUILD THREW IT AWAY. dossiers.py dropped any name that was a strict prefix of a longer person’s name — a rule written to stop “John Barry” swallowing “John Barry Booyzen”, which instead silenced the shorter man entirely. The fix keeps the shorter name and fences it with a negative lookahead, so it matches everywhere except where the longer name begins. 2,428 mentions came back. NOTHING REFUSED THE BUILD WHILE THIS WAS TRUE, so a gate now does: checkregisters.py fails when a person the dossier calls undiscussed is named in the built pages. Found because the estate asked this archive to look for a fault the Mazza archive had just had. Where it stands → - 17 Sep 2026 — The Burgersdorp sweep of images 605–818 found five new people
Three. Johanna Catharina Mountjoy, born 28 January 1860, was already held in full — a daughter of George Mountjoy who married William Henry Keys — and the sweep only confirmed her and gave her a reference. Frederick Fortunatus Werdmuller was already held from a 1907 petition and a 1953 estate; what the sweep added was his birth and his mother, which is a real gain and not a new person. THE DUPLICATE PERSON RECORDS WERE CAUGHT BY THE BUILD'S OWN NAME-COLLISION CHECK for the first and by reading the register for the second, before either reached a page. The rule it costs: a sweep that returns a name is checked against the archive before it is called a find. Where it stands →

Disputed
…A different John Barry. → Willem Hermanus Booyzen (1851–1905) Death at Indwe annotated “To be confirmed, not sure” — and his son David Schalk is born in 1907. Resolved RESOLVED by the 1905 death registration: he died at Doorn Street, Indwe on 13 September 1905 of a stomach ulcer. The date is right; David Schalk cannot be his son. → Johanna Catharina Mountjoy (1819–1863) Dies 19 May 1863 (probate-sourced) — but Izak (1864) and Stephanus Francois (1875) are recorded as her sons. She also carries three conflicting birth facts. Serious Petrus Jacobus remarried and the second wife is missing from the tree.

So of the three figures the archive had, the marriage register is the outlier : it gives his age as 22 in December 1879, when he was 28 . His 1905 death registration says 55 , which is right within a year. The 1879 entry is wrong by six years.…

She would be FIFTY-ONE in June 1911.

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.
