Margaret Harriet Kolbe
Fourth of the eight, and the only one baptised at Hopetown — the register there calls her mother Elizabeth GEERTRUIDA du Toit, which is the single wobble in eight entries. SHE IS ALSO THE FIRST OF THE EIGHT TO SURFACE IN THE TRANSVAAL: a Margaret Harriet Kolbe, aged 24, marries DIRK JACOBUS ASPHELING VAN DER SPUY at Wakkerstroom. Her name is her aunt's — Harriet Hachilah Machilah, born at Philippolis in 1831.
Every record naming Margaret Harriet Kolbe →
No family is drawn here, because none is recorded. This archive holds Margaret Harriet 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.
