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 79485231SC cleared -- the pantser.cmvo.org.za SADF deaths PDF lists that number under "KUHNE, JORG HUBERT" (CPL, Sterf 23 04 85), matching PersonNumber 31193 (Kuhne, DateDeath 1985-04-23) by surname and exact date, not this record. Original value: "79485231SC". 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.
FirstName contamination fixed 31 Aug 2026 (systemic full-table scan): FirstName ("Jorg Hubert") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 31193 ("Kuhne, Jorg Hubert", initials J H) -- this record's own stored initials (S) don't match "Jorg Hubert" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 31193 as the true owner of this record's copied ServiceNo via the same external source. Cleared back to unknown rather than guessed, AddInfo (also an exact copy from the same neighbour) cleared likewise.
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 ("2 South African Infantry Battalion") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Army".
