Research notes
(REGISTRATION) PLAN OF A PORTION OF THE F.C. OF TRAKA, DIVISION OF PRINCE ALBERT, framed from actual survey 1862, sheet 7280, stamped ADMIN DISTRICT WILLOWMORE and 'Numbered under the Provisions of the Deeds Registries Act No. 47 of 19[37]'. BM 1 (4147), BM 3 (4153).
SIXTEEN NUMBERED FARMS ARE DRAWN: 34 Vallei Kuil, 35 Slagters Kuil Lot A, 37 Slagters Kuil Lot B, 38 Vogelstruis Leegte Lot B, 77 Wind Heuvel, 78 Vogelstruis Leegte Lot A, 79 Brakfontein, 80 Paarde Poort, 81 Witkops Leegte, 82 Kruidfontein, 83 Leeuwe Kloof, 95 Klein Leeuwekloof, 135 Klipfontein, 136 Brakgat, 137 Donkerhoeks Rivier, 155 Karee Leegte - PAR-000306 to PAR-000321. Unnumbered ground on the sheet: Slabberts Poort, Kraai Rivier, Voeriefontein, Slangkop, Vanderwesthuisens Kraal, and GOVT GROUND VANDELING along the western edge.
ONE PERSONAL NAME IS WRITTEN ON IT, against Kraai Rivier: 'Johannes Jacobus Botha 17 Feb 1880'. The model holds 28 Bothas and NONE is matched to this - 9, never match an Afrikaans name alone. LEAD-0279.
WHY IT MATTERS HERE: the F.C. of Traka is PLC-000022, this project's own field cornetcy - Rondabel lies on the Traka and the Vrolykheid diagram names it. The plan extends that cornetcy EASTWARD into what became the Willowmore registration division.
The research behind this page, kept separate from it: dated working notes, open questions, and what is not yet settled.
