History

1915 to today

This timeline pulls together the defensible public record I could find for Anna-Cornelia: current London listings, older broker traces, dated sales coverage, archive checks, and Dutch register name matches. The earlier name Loosdrecht is included as a reported lead only, because I have not yet found an archival register entry that independently confirms that rename chain.
