The farm's own history, the grant, the original survey, sits on that page.

Farm number: No. 182
Portion: 9
On the cadastre: 9/182, portionregistered as KLEIN VALIE
District: Prince Albert
Extent, as the diagram states it: 374.8479 morgen
Modern surveyed area: 318.9 ha

The historic extent and the modern surveyed area are two separate measurements and are not presented here as confirming each other. The first is what a surveyor wrote on a diagram, usually in morgen. The second is what the modern cadastre draws.

Why this farm is here

S.C. Sooyman (Windwaai, 1933) held it, and no kinship to the Oosthuizen, Marincowitz or Van der Merwe lines is recorded, this ground entered through the land, not the family. 8 km from Klaarstroom.

Ground that touches this farm on the Surveyor-General's current polygons and that none of the diagrams held here names. Derived from the geometry, not read off a document.

Research notes

[31 Jul 2026 inbox] 'WINDWAAI portion of KOUDE VELD' - Portion 9 of Klein Valie, cut out of Portion 2, surveyed Nov 1932 and transferred 7 Sep 1933 to S.C. SooymanH on deed 5651 (DOC-0121). Its antecedent is deed 11089 of 8 Oct 1919 to A.P. Muller J.C. sonM, which is the same deed that carries Oude Kraal and Koude Veld on the 1833 verso - so the 1919 buyer of two of the five pieces was selling out of one of them fourteen years later. AREA CHECK: 374.8479 morgen converts to 321.0 ha against a modern 319.0 - agreement to 0.6%, the closest yet in this model. Two Eskom servitudes crossed it in 1990 (DOC-0122).

[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 "Windwaai (Klein Valie Ptn 9)" 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.

What the record is missing

The record stops in 1933 and never resumes third order · B2 trail-ends
Windwaai (Klein Valie No. 182 Ptn 9) was worked as far as 1933-09-07, with S.C. SooymanH (Windwaai, 1933) the last owner on record. 93 years follow with nothing. Who held it after that, and is it still one farm?

What would settle it The current title deed traced backwards, each transfer names the one before it, or the Surveyor-General's subdivision diagrams, which are what usually explain a farm going quiet.

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.
