Margaretha Elizabeth Kolbe of 1854

THE FIRST DAUGHTER OF THE HOUSE THIS ARCHIVE CAN NAME FROM A FONT. Born 16 FEBRUARY 1854, baptised 2 APRIL 1854, daughter of JOHN GERRON ELIEZAR KOLBE and ANNA JACOBA V. D. MERWE — the fourth spelling of her father's forenames in four documents (1:1:6P19-2Y5T). SHE MARRIED A JOUBERT, on the register's own evidence: the Free State Dutch Reformed records carry Margaretha Elizabeth Kolbe, and Margaret Elizabeth Kolbe, as the mother of ADRIANA, PETRONELLA JOHANNA, HENNING JOHANNES and FRANCIS, by PETRUS JACOBUS JOUBERT. THE MARRIAGE ITSELF HAS NOT BEEN FOUND and the children are index rows read at a glance, so the household is recorded and not drawn. HER MOTHER'S NAME IS NOT IN HERS, which is worth noticing in a family that named a son for the grandfather it had just buried: the Margaretha is the SETTLER'S WIFE, Margaret Downing, dead thirteen years after this child was born and alive when she was christened.

Frederik Fortunatus is here on a user tree's word and nothing else. His death registration names no parents — that line of the form is completed only for a deceased under ten — and the register of his baptism has not been found. He is drawn in because two of his children were baptised to a McCabe mother in the same congregation, which is corroboration and not proof.

the direct line, argued on the line from a record this archive has read inferred, not stated from the family tree, unverified 12 of the 13 relationships shown are written in a record this archive has read. 1 comes from the family tree and is unverified. What Was Searched → Married 3 April 1843; he died on the same date twenty-five years later, leaving her with twelve children — eight sons and four daughters, which is his obituary's own count. NONE OF THE TWELVE WAS NAMED IN A DOCUMENT HERE UNTIL 27 SEPTEMBER 2026, when the Free State and Cape Dutch Reformed baptism registers were searched on HER name rather than on his. ELEVEN OF THE TWELVE ARE BELOW, and ten of them are named as this couple's by a baptism register or a civil death registration — not by a tree. THE TENTH CAME LAST AND IS THE FIRST IN ORDER: CATHARINA WILHELMINA, born 1844 in the Cape Colony, whose own 1909 death registration names this father and this mother and states that she had been married to a PIENAAR before the ANDERSON she died as — which is what turned a probable sixth child into the documented eldest. They are drawn in birth order, which is also the order the fonts move: Colesberg in 1846, Fauresmith in 1848 and 1849, then Bloemfontein from 1860, so the register records this household's move to the town without anybody writing it down. ONE IS STILL MISSING and the obituary is the authority for there being twelve. BOTH OF THE LAST TWO CAME OUT OF THE FREE STATE CIVIL DEATH REGISTERS ON ONE AFTERNOON, found by searching that index for their FATHER rather than for themselves — which is how a daughter filed under a married surname this archive had never heard of, and a son whose forenames run two of his brothers' together, were both reached.

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.
