Research notes

Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'Modiidi Elmond' and Age 23 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 35951 down a contiguous run of 5 records -- this record's own LastName ('Matsepe'), Initials ('T M'), ServiceNo ('0168204-1') and DateDeath ('1996-09-14') are all genuinely distinct, confirming a different real person whose FirstName/Age were simply never captured. Unlike the first pass of this sweep, Unit is NOT touched here -- it is not part of this contamination (see the Unit-restoration correction on the related run) and this record's own Unit ('Head Office') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
