Petrus Jacobus Kolbe of 1852

BAPTISED AT FIVE WEEKS OLD AND BURIED AT SIXTY-SEVEN, AND THE TWO DOCUMENTS ALMOST CERTAINLY HOLD ONE MAN. The font: born 4 MAY 1852, baptised 7 JUNE 1852, son of JAN GERTZSON ELIEZAR KOLBE and ANNA JACOBA VAN DER MERWE (1:1:6PYD-43CP). The grave end: a PIETER KOLBE, aged 67, died 7 NOVEMBER 1919 at BLOEMFONTEIN, born in the Orange Free State, son of J. KOLBE and A. V. D. MERWE (1:1:DH3F-HWW2). AGE 67 IN NOVEMBER 1919 IS BORN 1852, the parents match to their initials, and a woman does not bear two sons in one year. THIS ARCHIVE JOINS THEM AND SAYS SO RATHER THAN QUIETLY MERGING THEM: the death record gives the parents only as initials and the forename only as Pieter, so the join rests on a year and two letters. A death notice — the Free State estate, not ordered — would carry the full name and end it. He took church membership at Bloemfontein on 5 FEBRUARY 1876, aged twenty-three, and the Free State registers give him a wife, MARGARETHA ELIZABETH LOUW, and children including a Gwendolina and a Jacoba. His elder brother married a Louw too.

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.
