What was taken back

…→ A document read past what it says 13 Sep 2026 “Margarietha Wilhelmina Elizabeth Barry was John Augustus Barry I’s daughter” She was his granddaughter. The 1915 death notice names eight children and she is not among them; her father is Hendrik Nicholaas Barry, whose other children were baptised at Dordrecht and Slang River between 1888 and 1900. Moved down a generation — which is where the cousin marriage of 1924 needs her to be, and the archive had her in the wrong place while asserting it.…

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.
