Research notes

DateDeath was 1900/1901-01-01 SAWGP unknown-date placeholder; set to Unknown. EstBirthYear derived from that date cleared. SN CORRECTION 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo 76586106BT cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "CANNER, CRISPIN JOHN" (AB, Sterf 02 09 84), matching PersonNumber 29690 (Canner, DateDeath 1984-09-02) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "76586106BT". Left as an unresolved collision otherwise -- this correction is specific to this one PDF-confirmed case, not a general claim this record's other data is wrong.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "SA Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("32 (Buffalo) Battalion") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
7 Sep 2026: CauseDeath was a forward-fill copy from PN 29692 (Carey-Thomas, William Warren (W W)), an unrelated record -- cleared as contamination (CauseDeath-contamination scan, data/causedeath-contamination-scan-2026-09-07.md), not a real cause.
