Research notes

[1 Aug 2026] Named as the EASTERN boundary of Haggas No. 145 on SG Dgm 357/1833, and again on Uitnood No. 147's 1833 sheet as its eastern neighbour. Drawn from the national cadastre, WILLOWMORE division (C0830000), the same source that finally placed Haggas. At 16,298 ha it is one of the largest parcels in the model. Its position east of Haggas is what both 1833 diagrams say, so the identification rests on two documents and a division match rather than on a name alone. NO DOCUMENT OF ITS OWN is held. [TO VERIFY]

What the record is missing

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Vondeling No. 139 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.
