No household in this archive names this person, as a child or as a parent. They are here because a record names them, and that record stands alone.

Every record naming Maria Catharina Magdalena Potgieter →

No family is drawn here, because none is recorded. This archive holds Maria Catharina Magdalena Potgieter 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.

His 1905 death registration says 55 , which is right within a year. The 1879 entry is wrong by six years.

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.
