0 graves recorded

[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 "10 Oct 2011_029" in the UNIONDALE-Rural collection. GGSA cemetery id 4212. | *** [23 Aug 2026] THE CLAIM ABOVE IS NOW TESTED RATHER THAN ASSUMED. *** They had not. The 47 people its captions name were matched against all 1,903 people in this model on surname, first given name and years: ZERO MATCHES on both years and zero on either. Nobody here is in this record, and now that has been checked instead of stated. | *** BUT THE SURNAME PROFILE IS WORTH WATCHING, BECAUSE THIS IS UNIONDALE. *** The ground carries at least ten DU PLESSIS, seven NORTIER, and a VAN TONDER. Nortier is the Wanhoop surname: the 1811-16 George rolls show Wanhoop passing out of Jacobus Johannes Oosthuizen's hands to 'Wed:e Ant:e NORTJE' and 'Anthony Nortje Jr' (SRC-525, LEAD-0270), and the only Nortje this project holds is Maria Nortje (PER-000784, 1724-1768), grandmother of David Jan Strydom who was granted Rondabel. Van Tonder is the Modderfonteyn matriarch's name. | So this is the right district and the right names, a century later, with no join yet. Nothing is claimed from that - a surname is not a person - but it is the ground to re-run this check on when the du Plessis or Nortje lines are worked.

Photographed here, not yet read

47 photographs of this ground carry a caption on eGGSA that nothing in this project has yet matched to a person. The words are eGGSA's transcription of the stone, kept exactly as written; nobody here has read the photograph. Each one links to its own page on their site.

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.
