Johanna Catharina Mountjoy of Burgersdorp
A daughter of George Mountjoy and Maria Sophia Botha, baptised on a LEAP DAY, and the woman who married William Henry Keys. This archive has carried “a Johanna Catharina Mountjoy” married to Keys since the index was read and could not say which one. This one. 17 SEPTEMBER 2026 — CONFIRMED INDEPENDENTLY AND GIVEN A REFERENCE. The sweep of images 605–818 reached her font from the other direction and returns the same two dates: FamilySearch 1:1:6FHW-89ND, image 637. HER INDEX ROW READS ONLY “Joha Catha” — the surname survives in the citation and not in the Name column, which is the same failure that hid two other children of this register.
A Petronella Christina Aletta baptised at SWELLENDAM in 1871 carries both parents' names and is NOT adopted — Swellendam is six hundred miles west of everywhere else this family stood.

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.
