Open questions

• The Veldkornetskap Oliphants Rivier farms - is this family tied to any of them beyond its own place? priority 2 · LEAD-0270

  Eleven Uniondale farms from the George rolls are now on the map - Nietgenaamd 9, Gorgida 14, Misgund 25, Moerasfontein 27, Keurfontein 45, Wilge River 46, Schoongezigt 52, Roodeheuvel 55, Diepe Kloof 56, Buffels Klip 63, Wilgehoute Rivier 69. *** NOT ONE OF THEM CARRIES A SINGLE OWNERSHIP ROW OR A NAMED HOLDER IN THIS MODEL. *** They are neighbours read off a roll, pinned to a cadastre. Is there any actual family tie to them, or only to Wanhoop and Modderfonteyn?

  What would settle it A named holder on one of those eleven farms who is already a person here, or marries one.

• Antoniesberg farms of 1850 not yet on the map: Dwaas, Wanhoop, Naugasfontein, Klein Grobbe priority 3 · LEAD-0361

  Which modern farm numbers are the 1850 farms around Moerasfontein that J.G. le Roux names and the HSRC map on p. 152 draws, and that the cadastre does not hold under those names? DWAAS is in the CSG index as Dwaas No. 428 (Uniondale), with Dwaasberg No. 414 beside it, but neither is in the provincial cadastre pull. WANHOOP, NAUGASFONTEIN (Frederik Salomon Terblanche, b. 1807, in 1850) and KLEIN GROBBE (Hendrik Johannes Nel) return nothing from the CSG index under any spelling tried (Wan Hoop, Naugas, Noagas, Nougasfontein, Naauwgas, Grobbe, Grobbelaars).

  What would settle it A diagram or quitrent title that gives the 1850 name against a farm number.

What the record is missing

• Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held

  Misgund No. 25 (Uniondale) 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.
