What the archive knows

Called Nita. Cheryl's elder sister, and the «Matriarch of our tribe» of the Corona poems. Died Sunday 6 June 2021, of Covid — the date fixed by her sister's gratitude journal («that Nita did not suffer — her death came quick») and confirmed by the elegy's own opening, «early hours Sunday morning». Her memorial service was held under pandemic restrictions later that month. Married Dainis Riekstins. Four children; by the poem's reckoning the family ran to thirteen.

No family is drawn for this name, and no record stands behind it. This archive has not placed it in a household and holds no indexed entry for it — the name reached this project through a chart, a narrative source or the family tree, and everything it does hold is below. The Register is where a record would appear if one turned up.

Identity here is by name, not by resolved individual. Where two people of one name appear in this archive they share this page, and it is for the reader to keep them apart — the surrounding text usually makes it obvious. Nothing here is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.

No prose mention yet

This person has not been written up in an essay yet — most often read straight off a register page that no index anywhere contains. What is known is at the top, and the pages linked above are where the finding sits.

A dossier is every mention of a name anywhere in this archive's data, gathered automatically and linked back to the page it appears on, with what the archive knows about the person set out at the top. **Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual**: where two people share a name they share a dossier, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Rebuilt from the roster, so every person the archive can name has a page — including the ones read straight off a register that no index anywhere contains.
