Ockert Johannes Stephanus Booysen
Signed his father’s 1908 death notice as “son of the deceased” — thirty-two years after his father had signed his own father’s at Brakfontein. Second of the seven children on his mother’s 1891 notice, and he carries HER father’s name: Ocken Johannes Oliefier. Confirmed at Rustenburg on 3 April 1869, the same day as his brother Petrus Jacobus. He died at Klerksdorp on 16 January 1921, aged 69 — a civil registration, which names no parents.
This archive filed her for a week as a stranger called Anna Johanna Booijzen BORN ALBERTS who died at BOEKFONTEIN. Both readings were wrong, and together they kept a documented wife and two documented children off this family.

The documents
…There is no b , no r-t-s , and no second syllable that could carry -berts . Oliefier is how a man who writes Booijzen , Stefanes and Brakfontijn spells OLIVIER. And the archive does not have to guess, because her own son wrote her name down again . Seventeen years later, filling in his father's death notice, Ockert Johannes Stephanus Booysen gave the first wife as "Anna Catharina Johanna Booysen, born Olivier" . The 1908 notice → Three documents, three spellings of one woman: Anna Johanna on her own notice, Anna Catrena on her son's, Anna Catharina Johanna on her husband's. Put together, she is Anna Catharina Johanna Olivier , and every one of them agrees on the surname. Seven children, all of age Question twelve, entire.…

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.
