Catharine Sophia Maria Kolbe
SHE IS WHERE THE NAME COMES FROM, and this archive had her down as “Catharine Kolbe” and nothing more. On 13 November 1848 she stood godmother at Graaff-Reinet to her sister Margaretha's son HENRY JAMES BARRY, entry 603, and the clerk wrote her out in full: CATHARINE SOPHIA MARIA KOLBER. ELEVEN YEARS LATER her sister named a daughter CATHERINE MARIA SOPHIA — the Kathleen Barry who married into this family — and the name then ran through four more generations and three more surnames. This archive had called it a Barry name. It is a Kolbe name, and it belongs to a woman who never married into the Booyzens at all. She is also godmother at Burgersdorp in 1853, two entries above her sister Mary Elizabeth's son.

…This archive has no burial for her and dates the death only as before August 1859 . It also says something about the name. This archive has already shown that Catherine Maria Sophia is a Kolbe name , off the godmother at the 1848 Graaff-Reinet font, Catharine Sophia Maria Kolber. It was thought important enough to use, lose, and use again. Namesakes → Why no search would ever have found her — and this is the finding that outlasts her.

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.
