Status notes
- Status
[partial]— register entry verbatim captures the parents + child name + birth date; image resolution limits further verbatim transcription. Higher-res zoom would upgrade to[verbatim]. - Certainty
[high for the partial reading; corroboration value high vs L.72 tree-tier claims] - F.107 is independent primary-source corroborationof L.72 tree's claim that Theodosia Cooper married Jacob Wyckoff + had Harriet 1804
- Per memory
feedback_dutch_records_check_kuyper_for_cooper.md: Dutch Reformed records context applies; though Hariot's surname is Cooper (not Kuyper), the principle of checking Dutch-Reformed records for Cooper-family connections is relevant here - Per memory
