Research notes

[3 Aug 2026, SRC-201] The OLDER farm Voelfontein, No. 117, known here only from the face of LG 864-84, which names it as one of the two components consolidated into Voelfontein No. 213 in 1984: figure DEFOg, middel van Kougarivier, hJS, off Kaart 1336/61, title T/A 1904-45594. Its own diagram is not held. NO-POLYGON, deliberately. Farm 117 in the Prince Albert cadastre today is a different parcel - a name matched on the number would put this row on the wrong ground, which is the error 5 exists to prevent. It is here because the consolidation names it, and it stays unplaced until its own diagram turns up. [TO VERIFY]

Open questions

141 people are on this site linked to nothing priority 1 · LEAD-0074
Which parcels and people exist on the site as dead ends - reachable by a list, but linked to no document, story, owner or neighbour?

What would settle it For the 106 tree-derived rows, a parentage pass merged from the family-tree on tree id - which 6 already names as the direction of travel and which would connect them wholesale rather than one at a time. For the three floating names, find the document each came from and link it.

What the record is missing

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Voelfontein No. 117 (superseded) is in the model, and carries no ownership record of any kind, not a grant, not a transfer, not an occupation.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.
