P.J. Kolbe of Piet Retief

“P.J. KOLBE — GEB. 1_ AUG. 1865 — OORL. 28 NOV. 1919 — RUS SAG.” The day of birth will not resolve on the photograph and is not guessed. A second Kolbe stone at Piet Retief, thirty years younger than the first; if G.A. of 1836 is the twin, this is very likely his son. NOTHING ON THE STONE SAYS SO.

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 P.J. Kolbe of Piet Retief →

No family is drawn here, because none is recorded. This archive holds P.J. Kolbe of Piet Retief 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.
