…If this woman were an eleventh child, her own son would have had the same claim by representation, and THERE IS NO BRUMMER IN THAT ACCOUNT. The innocent explanation is that the boy died before 1938 without issue, which for a child born by 1898 is ordinary.

A SECOND ARITHMETIC TO WATCH: Maria Louisa Bertha Kumm’s age at death puts her birth at about October 1860, which would make her SEVENTEEN when this daughter was born. Possible, and tight. WHAT WOULD SETTLE IT: the Dordrecht baptism register for 1878, or her own marriage record. Until one of them is read she is a person here and not a daughter of that house.…

The death notice → Four corrections it offers our own tree: Anna Catharina is recorded there as Slier , not Schleher; her marriage to James Mountjoy is dated 9 March 1817 at Graaff-Reinet ; Thomas Jacobus lived to 1827 , not 1818; and there is a sibling our tree lacks entirely — Jacoba Catharina Mountjoy (1820–1842) . Johanna Margaritha Pretorius — the woman four documents refused to name She was the hardest person in this archive to find, and the reason is worth as much as the answer.
