Research notes

[3 Aug 2026, SRC-214] A 2016 consolidation of Portions 6 and 7 of JANSEN'SKRAAL NO. 104 (our PAR-000057), in the Prince Albert Municipality. It runs as a long narrow figure along a road. It borders Klein Sleutlefontein 127 and its Kleinbotterkraal portion, the two Boterkraal portions of Jansen'skraal, and Modderdrift 106 - so it threads between several farms this project follows without being one of them.

[SRC-315, 7 Aug 2026] A FARM CEMETERY IS RECORDED ON THIS GROUND BY eGGSA: 'Jansenskraal 104, Botterkraal', Cemetery ID 7132, at -33.103267, 22.398717.

What the record is missing

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Farm 236 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.
