Stories

• about this farm Vrolykheid's story
  The farm where the paper and the people disagree: Stretch's 1833 survey already carrying the names of portions not cut for another century, two titles granted on one day in 1841 - one to an Oosthuisen and one to an 'N. Hitge' whose deed four later portions cite instead - a Trieste immigrant who married a Hitge in 1844 and died holding the farm in 1890, and the death notice that finally put the Hitges on the ground.

Before this ground was cut out

This is the history of Vrolikheid, the farm this ground was part of until 1934. It is shown here because this ground was that farm, and separately from what follows because before the cut the record says the farm's name and not which part of it. Not everything below necessarily happened on this piece.

What the record is missing

• Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held

  Lot A (Vrolikheid No. 177 Ptn 6) is in the model and drawn on the map, and carries no ownership record of any kind, not a grant, not a transfer, not an occupation.

  What would settle it The Surveyor-General's diagram for the farm number names the grantee and the date; the deed reference on it opens the transfer chain.

Found by breaks.py reading the model against itself, not written by hand, each one is a shape of missing record, not a fault in the data. The whole set is on the questions page.
