…→ Stephanus Francois Booyzen (1874–1940) — whose son? This archive placed him as a son of PETRUS JACOBUS BOOYSEN and his second wife JOHANNA MARGARITHA PRETORIUS, on his birth date alone — his own 1940 Sterfkennis names neither parent, because his widow wrote only “oorlede” for both. The 1900 death notice of Elizabetha Margaretha Marais names a STEPHANUS FRANCOIS BOOIJZEN as her son by DAVID SCHALK BOOIJZEN, an unmarried major at Pretoria in 1904 — and the 1874 man died at East Lynne, Pretoria.

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.
