Hendrik Stefanus Nicolaas Booijsen
Dead at twenty-nine on his father's farm, FIVE DAYS AFTER HIS MOTHER, and unknown to this archive until his notice was read. Sterfkennis 6361: landbouwer, ongehuwd, movables only and not above £25, and line 3 names his parents — Hendrick Stefanus Booijsen and Anna Catrena gebooren Oliefier. He is the seventh child on his mother's list and the first Booysen this archive has documented as BORN in the Transvaal.
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.

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.
