[11 Aug 2026, SRC-458] A REFERENCE BURIAL GROUND, NOT A FAMILY ONE. Nobody in this record lies here, so far as it knows. It is here because It was empty because only three Western Cape collections had ever been pulled. THE MAP SAYS WHICH KIND IT IS: grounds with nobody of ours draw a PALE cross, family grounds a dark one. Coordinate and cemetery id are eGGSA's own, off the album page, converted out of the degrees and decimal minutes that page carries. Nothing here has been visited. eGGSA album "wolwefontein" in the Ladismith_Rural collection. GGSA cemetery id 2456. | [19 Aug 2026] TIED TO PAR-000290. The eGGSA album title reads 'Western Cape, LADISMITH district, Plathuis, Wolver Fontein 137, farm cemetery', which names the farm outright, and the coordinate sits 1.28 km from the centroid of Wolvefontein No. 137 and 2.40 km from Rietfontein A No. 139. That farm was pinned the same day off SG diagram 649/1838 (SRC-502), whose eastern boundary is labelled 'Gov ground surveyed for J C Els & Mar Oosthuyzen'. | *** THIS PROJECT'S HARVEST OF THE ALBUM IS INCOMPLETE. *** grave_photos holds 11 captions for this ground and the live album carries at least 15 named ones.

The photographs are eGGSA's and stay on their site; this project links to them and does not copy them. Their albums are expressly incomplete, so a name missing here is not evidence that person is not buried here.
