Wilhelmina Louisa Mountjoy
ONE OF THE TEN, AND THE FILE THAT WAS WANTED FOR HER IS NOT ON FILM — BUT THE ANSWER IS. Her own estate, MOOC 6/9/16573 no. 5683/49, is not imaged on FamilySearch and is not indexed either; what is indexed is MINNIE MOUNTJOY BURGER as a CHILD, twice, on her father’s 1943 death notice. SO THE THING THE ORDER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT — HER FATHER’S NAME — CAME FREE FROM HIS OWN FILE. She is the first of the nine children of GEORGE MOUNTJOY OF KOKSTAD, born in the Orange Free State about 1862. MINNIE IS WILHELMINA, which is why a search on “Wilhelmina Louisa” returned seven hundred and twenty-four strangers and not her. That the Minnie of 1943 and the Wilhelmina Louisa of 1949 are one woman is a strong reading and not a proved one: same surname, same maiden name, same province, six years apart.
Every record naming Wilhelmina Louisa Mountjoy →
No family is drawn here, because none is recorded. This archive holds Wilhelmina Louisa Mountjoy 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 →

The People
…Possible, and tight. WHAT WOULD SETTLE IT: the Dordrecht baptism register for 1878, or her own marriage record. Until one of them is read she is a person here and not a daughter of that house.

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.
