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.
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".
Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'William Warren' and Age 37 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 29692 down a contiguous run of 2 records -- this record's own LastName ('Carlos'), Initials ('D'), ServiceNo ('') and DateDeath ('Unknown') 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 ('32 (Buffalo) Battalion') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
