Catharina Maria Louisa Kolbe
Fifth of the eight. Two aunts' names run together: CATHERINE MARIA SOPHIA, born 1825, and AUGUSTA LOUISA, born 1829. NOT FOLLOWED OUT OF THE FONT. 17 SEPTEMBER 2026 — SHE MARRIED A LOUW. Both her parents’ Pietermaritzburg estates write her “CATHARINA MARIA LOUISA KOLBE LOUW” (1923, 1:1:QLRL-WTBN) and “CATHERINA MARIA KOLBE LOUW” (1929, 1:1:QLR2-ZDB5). A MARRIED SURNAME IS THE ONLY THING THAT LETS A DAUGHTER BE FOLLOWED, and an estate file is where it is written down. Her husband’s forename is not given in the index.

No family is drawn here, because none is recorded. This archive holds Catharina Maria Louisa Kolbe 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 →

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.
