Research notes

THE FARM IN JACOBA CORNELIA OOSTHUIZEN'S ESTATE. S.G. 484/1832 (SRC-471, DOC-0308) reads 'the Loanplace called Deverlaate MISKRAAL VAN WILLEM GOOSE geleegen aan TOUWSBERG... Situated in the SWELENDAM DISTRICT FIELDCORNETCY OF GROOTE SWARTEBERG'. MOOC8/56.13, her estate of 28 December 1805 taken by her brother Pieter Cornelis (PER-000242), carries a debt on 'de plaats gen:t de MISTKRAAL VAN WILLEM GOOZEN gelegen aan de TOUWSBERG' (SRC-467).

Whether she or her husband held it, or only owed on it, the estate does not say. [TO VERIFY]

Not the Koup and not core.

Open questions

Do the levels need a second centre now that the prequel grounds carry their communities? priority 2 · LEAD-0235
Frans admitted the Olifants communityand said 'we can keep our levels and that will help show relevance'. Under LEVELS.md as written those people land in LEVEL 4. Should R2 be pointed at a second centre, and what else comes in if it is?

What would settle it Frans choosing between a second centre, a second centre plus the maternal one, and a separate time axis - after the numbers for each are measured rather than guessed.

What the record is missing

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Mistkraal No. 121 (Touwsberg, Ladismith) 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.
