I wish to acknowledge the research work done by Cecile van der Westhuizen who assisted me via GISA to obtain a far clearer picture of Chatharina Christina Willemina.

Chatharina Christina Willemina was once famously described as one of the "lost Fourie's", but I believe through Cecile dedicated efforts, Chatharina Christina Willemina's place in the Fourie family tree has become a whole lot clearer.
