Levina “Finnie” Kolbe-Booysen

“Only daughter of Mr and Mrs D. Kolbe-Booysen, of Port Elizabeth.” Her engagement to Raymond Patrick Sawtelle, only son of Mrs D. Sawtelle of Cambridge, England, was announced in the Eastern Province Herald on 16 October 1944, in the last winter of the war. The paper called her FINNIE in brackets, which is the household name and the kind of thing a register never records.

No household in this archive names this person, as a child or as a parent. They are here because a record names them, and that record stands alone.

Every record naming Levina Finnie Kolbe-Booysen →

No family is drawn here, because none is recorded. This archive holds Levina “Finnie” Kolbe-Booysen 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.
