Research notes
SG Dgm 270/1919. Transferred to ALMERO JACOBUS HITGE OOSTHUIZEN, 10 June 1919. Bounded south by Crown Land.
[13 Aug 2026] Renamed to the one form this model uses for every portion - the portion's own name, then the parent farm, its number and the portion in brackets - so that a name is legible in a list, a search result and a map popup without the reader having to know which farm number is which. It read "Hartebeest Voedpad (Rondabel Ptn 5)" before. Nothing about the ground changed.
The research behind this page, kept separate from it: dated working notes, open questions, and what is not yet settled.
Open questions
-
Morgen or hectares? extent_text may be inconsistent
priority 1 · LEAD-0007
Are the figures in parcels.extent_text really morgen, or are some of them hectares mislabelled as morgen?
What would settle it Reading the figure and its unit directly off the diagrams for the nine flagged parcels.
