Leslie Reuben Beitz | Death | 17/07/1927 | Christian Beitz | Augusta Friedricka Wilhelmine Muchow | 1927/B/1817
Queensland historical BDM index row, columns Name/Event/Date/Father/Mother/Reference. REFUTES the deep-dive draft's proposal to sever this child: that draft's sweep found nothing because it searched only 1921, but this 1927 death registration -- naming father Christian Beitz and a mother whose three given names match the same distinctive Auguste/Augusta+Fred(e)ricka+Wilhelmine+Muchow pattern recurring on the marriage and all four birth registrations above -- proves Lesley Beitz #17047 IS a genuine child of this couple, just with the tree's placeholder '1921' death date wrong. Corrected to the registered date.
Albertine Ulrieke Tesch Birth 15/12/1888 Carl Friedrich Tesch Albertine Henrietta Ulrieke Kuter 1888/C/6571
QLD BDM historical birth index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference. The MOTHER's own birth registration; date matches the tree exactly, father matches tree's Carl Friedrich Tesch exactly, mother matches tree's Albertine Ulrike Henriette Kuter (name-element order varies). Her mother, Albertine Ulrike Henriette Kuter, died the same day recorded here as this birth (15 Dec 1888) per the tree's existing DEAT event — consistent with death following childbirth, noted for context only, not asserted as fact from this record.
Lydia Auguste Schneider | Birth | 18/07/1874 | Johann Gottlieb Schneider | Bertha Emilie Toppendorf | 1874/C/2007
QLD BDM historical birth index. Confirms Lydia Auguste Schneider #17120, daughter of Johann Gottlieb Schneider #17087 x Bertha Emilie Tappendorf #17088 (family #5313).
Elizabeth Tesch | DEAT | 13/10/1921 | 1921/B/35571 | Anthony Greine | Susan McGurk | surname: Tesch | id: D883470 | refid: 9593b2d63d0b1ee0180c6c920590de25be58a66d0697f48802496b07ce4741ab | detailsUrl: https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/details/9593b2d63d0b1ee0180c6c920590de25be58a66d0697f48802496b07ce4741ab

Victor John Tesch Birth 26/03/1922 Albertene Tesch 1922/B/71482
QLD BDM historical birth index. No Father column returned (none recorded); columns quoted are Name / Event / Date / Mother / Reference. Only child of this family; mother matches tree's Albertine Ulrieke Tesch (indexed 'Albertene'). Register gives the fuller name 'Victor John Tesch' against the tree's 'Victor Tesch' — added as an aka name in the companion op.
Queensland BDM historical index (qld-bdm), BIRT search. Reading: birth date 26 MAR 1922. Identity: registration (record "1922/B/71482" ↔ tree "1922/B/71482").

QLD BDM historical death index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference. BOTH Father and Mother columns read '-' (no parents recorded by the informant) despite the mother's identity being independently well documented; date matches the tree exactly.
Queensland BDM historical index (qld-bdm), DEAT search. Reading: death date 11 NOV 1927. Identity: exact_date (record "11/11/1927" ↔ tree "11 NOV 1927"). Extracted by the local model; the quote is verbatim from the fetched text. Supports the death date the tree already holds (11 NOV 1927). Cited on the tree's DEAT event #34942 (11 NOV 1927).
Terrance James Tesch | DEAT | 07/02/1966 | 1966/B/78951 | Gordon Reginald Tesch | Vida May Millican | surname: Tesch | id: D900038214 | refid: faa0362705cb51a442d3defa2eb03b0923fba6a2cd25ae35477a6345f1d785d6 | detailsUrl: https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/details/faa0362705cb51a442d3defa2eb03b0923fba6a2cd25ae35477a6345f1d785d6
Queensland BDM historical index (qld-bdm), DEAT search. Reading: death date 7 FEB 1966. Identity: parent_name (record "Gordon Reginald Tesch & Vida May Millican" ↔ tree "Gordon Reginald Tesch & Vida May Millican"). Extracted by the local model; the quote is verbatim from the fetched text. Refines the tree's 1966 to the full date. The tree's DEAT event #34950 (1966, uncited) is refined to 7 FEB 1966.
Stanley Rudolph Tesch | DEAT | 12/02/1943 | 1943/B/60041 | Benjamin Rudolph | Myrtle Wilhelmina Oliver | surname: Tesch | id: D1148465 | refid: 64089361b35701b77a0677069d4362bb76db554bdb2cbb42343ac30e88f19315 | detailsUrl: https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/details/64089361b35701b77a0677069d4362bb76db554bdb2cbb42343ac30e88f19315
Queensland BDM historical index (qld-bdm), DEAT search. Reading: death date 12 FEB 1943. Identity: parent_name (record "Benjamin Rudolph & Myrtle Wilhelmina Oliver" ↔ tree "Benjamin Rudolph Tesch & Myrtle Wilhelmina Oliver"). Extracted by the local model; the quote is verbatim from the fetched text. Refines the tree's 1943 to the full date. The tree's DEAT event #34958 (1943, uncited) is refined to 12 FEB 1943.
Margaret Tesch | DEAT | 10/12/1964 | 1964/B/70205 | Peter Tracey | Margaret Carew | surname: Tesch | id: D1254558 | refid: 5f4829ac660a4c4c0c92466dd37de52d21f24df8864d82e968441afcefbad2a0 | detailsUrl: https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/details/5f4829ac660a4c4c0c92466dd37de52d21f24df8864d82e968441afcefbad2a0
Queensland BDM historical index (qld-bdm), DEAT search. Reading: death date 10 DEC 1964. Identity: parent_name (record "Peter Tracey & Margaret Carew" ↔ tree "Peter Tracey & Margaret Carew"). Extracted by the local model; the quote is verbatim from the fetched text. Refines the tree's 1964 to the full date. The tree's DEAT event #34959 (1964, uncited) is refined to 10 DEC 1964.
Mary Josephine McConville | Birth | 13/09/1891 | [blank] | Mary McConville | 1891/B/49109
Mother's name matches the tree's mother (17311) exactly; birth predates by 8 years the mother's later (unmarried/no-recorded-union) relationship with Frederick Domrow, so this is a separate, earlier fatherless birth, not a mis-split of the Domrow family. Refines the tree's bare year 1891 to the exact day.
Minnie Stibbe Death 16/12/1900 Gottlieb Jenner Johanna Lieberenz 1900/C/1821
QLD BDM historical death index. This is the first wife, Minnie (née Jenner) Stibbe's, own death — one week after the birth registered 1901/C/4331 — parents match #17572/#17573 already in the tree.
QLD BDM death index. Date matches the tree's DEAT event exactly; mother's name matches the tree's mother exactly (Ottilie Albertine Billiau). The index's age-at-death field reads 'hours', i.e. George died as a newborn. Mother married Karl Hellmuth Langfeldt on 15 Feb 1917, after this death - so no re-parenting into that marriage is possible; this is a straightforward unmarried birth/death, not a mis-linked family. Father column blank.
Anton Frederick Pleak | Death | 03/01/1907 | 1907/B/7588 | Franz August Pleak | Rosalie Pracke
Queensland historical BDM index, deaths search surname Pleak. Columns: Name | Event | Date | Reference | Father | Mother. Date matches the tree's 3 JAN 1907 exactly.
Appolonia Schultz | Death | 11/03/1915 | Johann Radke | - - | 1915/C/580
Queensland historical death index, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference (mother's name blank/illegible on the source row). Exact match on death date to Appol(l)onia Radke, married name Schultz (11 MAR 1915). Names her father as Johann Radke - her sibling Joseph Radke's own 1914 death registration (1914/C/2000) names their shared parents as Martin Radke + Maria Schultz instead; this given-name discrepancy (Johann vs Martin) is reported, not resolved - not treated as contradicting the sibling-confirmed family link.
Elizabeth Wilhelmina Qualischefski | Death | 13/07/1960 | 1960/C/3521 | father: Robert Salomon | mother: Wilhelmina Sanewski
Queensland historical BDM index row; columns: name | event | date (dd/mm/yyyy) | registration reference | father | mother. The only 1960 QLD death registration for an Elizabeth Wilhelmin(a/e) with these parents — identifies #18074/#56146 as one person and refines the death date.
Herman Klibbe | Birth | 26/07/1874 | Ferdinand Klibbe | Louisa Reinicker | 1874/C/4655
Queensland historical BDM index, births search (surname Klibbe), fields in the index's own column order: Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Registration number. Confirms Hermann Klibbe's birth date already on file.
George Joseph Petrie | Death | 11/11/1974 | George Petrie | Eliza Laracy | 1974/B/55673
Queensland historical death index row, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Registration number. Mother recorded as 'Eliza Laracy', a clerk's contraction of the tree's Elizabeth Ann Larracy (#18500) — see accompanying name.create. Confirms #18505's parents, distinguishing him from George Kynock Petrie #18521 (item #4762), whose own registrations below name different parents (Alexander Petrie & Margaret Taylor).
George Kynoch Petrie | Death | 23/06/1965 | Alexander Petrie | Margaret Taylor | 1965/B/73830
Death index spells the middle name 'Kynoch'; the tree's primary name and the 1886 birth registration spell it 'Kynock' — both attested, see accompanying name.create.
John Henry Tanzer, Death, 26/09/1947, father John Nicholas Tanzer, mother Margaret Peters, 1947/C/5057
Parents named on this 1947 death registration are John Nicholas Tanzer #18649 and Margaret Peters - NOT the infant Anna Margaretha Catharina Peters #18648 (b.1869 d.1870), who was a different, much younger Peters woman correctly cleared from family #5759 by proposal #1026. Margaret Peters is recorded as her own (otherwise undocumented) person; see the companion proposal filling family #5759's wife slot with her.
Maria Wolski | Death | 23/09/1922 | - | - | 1922/C/3305
Queensland historical BDM index row, columns Name/Event/Date/Father/Mother/Reference. Confirms Maria Schimke's (#18703) married name and death date already in the tree exactly, but the father and mother fields are both blank ('-') -- the informant did not know or supply her parents' names. This neither confirms nor refutes her recorded parentage; see the companion proposal on family 5769.
Henrich Wilhelm Peters, Birth, 13/11/1894, father Wilhelm Henrich Peters, mother Wilhelmina Wolski, 1894/C/3115
Exact parent match, refining NOV 1894 to 13 NOV 1894. The recorded death of 12 JAN 1894 therefore pre-dates his birth by ten months and is cleared; the Kingaroy place is kept. No Peters death under the given name Heinrich or Wilhelm is registered in Queensland 1894-1897, so 12 JAN 1895 cannot be confirmed.
Name William James Lovell | Event Death | Date 26/07/1941 | Reference 1941/C/3605 | Father George | Mother Mary Ann Burke
Queensland historical BDM index; date matches the tree exactly. William James Lovell (#18793) and Frederick Herbert Lovell (#18804) are brothers, both children of George Lovell & Mary Ann Burke (family 5786) -- confirms they are two different men, not duplicates of Frederick James Lovell (#539, son of James Haines Frederick Lovell & Elizabeth Sheppard) or William Henry Lovell (#566, son of William Lovell & Isabella Somerville).
"Leslie Harm — date of birth 16/10/1919 — father: [blank] — mother: Emma Marie — 1919/C/13152"
QLD BDM historical birth index. No father named. Mother's given names 'Emma Marie' match the tree's Emma Maria Harm; the index row as extracted carries no surname for the mother, so quality is downgraded pending fuller confirmation. The tree's own birth year for Leslie is a bare, uncited '1920' - this registration gives 16 Oct 1919, one year earlier. Flagged rather than used to overwrite the tree's date; the two sources merely disagree.
"Leslie Harm — date of death 27/05/1963 — father: - — mother: - — 1963/C/2107"
QLD BDM historical death index. Both parent columns are blank, so this rests on name and year alone; it is the only 'Leslie Harm' death found in the Queensland index and the year matches the tree's own uncited '1963'. Does not itself corroborate parentage.
"August Schimke — date of death 04/01/1917 — father: Christian Schimke — mother: Carolina Labod — 1917/C/740"
Index entry only. Confirms the death date already in the tree and, by naming the parents, confirms that August is the son of 18714 (recorded there also as 'Christian Schimke') and 18715 — so the family link in 5769 is sound and it is the birth year that was wrong.
Queensland historical BDM index row, columns Name/Event/Date/Father/Mother/Reference. Confirms Louise Schimke #19409 (recorded there as 'Louisa') is a genuine daughter of Johann Christoph Schimke #18714 (recorded elsewhere in this family as 'Christian') and Carolina Labod #18715 -- a hard parent-name match -- despite her own birth being recorded far from the rest of this family's usual place (Holland, Gutersloh, Nordrhein-Westfalen). Also supplies the exact death date, previously only a bare year.
Name: Henry Muller | Event: Death | Date: 21/07/1964 | Reference: 1964/C/4945 | Father: Heinrich | Mother: Katherine Wagner
Confirms #19581's death date and parents (family 6014) — a different man from Henry Gustav Muller #5614, son of Gustav Adolph Muller and Adelaide Pitkin (family 2145). Hard discriminator settling review item 4388 as a false positive.
"Jane Allan Baird | Birth | 27/03/1889 | Father: Frederick Baird | Mother: Jane Robertson | Reference: 1889/C/9317"
Queensland historical BDM index row (Name/Event/Date/Father/Mother/Reference columns, in that order). Only one Jane [Allan/Allen] Baird birth registration exists for children of Frederick Baird & Jane Robertson, spelled 'Allan' at birth - matching #33239's given name exactly. #33239 is an uncited duplicate child entry in the same family with matching birth year and no independent data of her own.
QLD historical BDM index. Given name 'Adolph' and surname spelling 'Hanser' differ from the tree's 'Arthur Hauser', but the date (17 Mar 1888) is exact and the parents (Henry / Catherine Kahler) match the parents named on Arthur's own 1959 death registration exactly — treated as his birth entry under a variant rendering, not a different person. Quality lowered for the name mismatch.
Unnamed (F) Gunn | Birth | 06/03/1865 | 1865/B/3862 | father Robert Gunn | mother Margaret Deel
QLD BDM birth index row. Retrieved 2026-09-17 (surname Gunn, father William -- this row ranked in that search despite the father being Robert). Matches the tree's existing same-day birth-and-death (6 Mar 1865, a neonatal death) exactly, and confirms parents Robert Gunn x Margaret Ann Deull (family #6199), distinct from #20277's William Gunn x Ellen Morrison (family #6191) -- settling duplicate_person item 4835 as a false positive.
