Research notes

In the model because this project holds its original survey diagram: loan place, 2474 morgen, surveyed 20 January 1821 for T. C. W. Meyer F.Z. by B. Duminy; the sheet draws Lot A, Lot C, Ptn 5 and Ptn 6, a woonhuis, a fountain and a dam [SG 237/1821]

The research behind this page, kept separate from it: dated working notes, open questions, and what is not yet settled.

What the record is missing

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Potjesfontein No. 147 (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.
