Research notes
7 Sep 2026: GraveRef ("Cremated, ashes placed in brother's grave") is identical across 16 consecutive PersonNumbers with unrelated surnames and different actual cemeteries already on file -- cannot literally be true for 16 different people. Same forward-fill contamination pattern as the Mapai Puma 164 crash-site text (fixed 6 Sep 2026). Cleared rather than guessed; the real GraveRef value is unknown.
