Research notes
Granted Rondabel on perpetual quitrent 15 Apr 1841, folio 989, Division of Beaufort.
30 Jul 2026 PROBABLE TREE ANCHOR [TREE]: DAVID JAN JACOBUS STRYDOM, b. 12 Aug 1798, son of DANIEL JACOBUS STRYDOM (~1754) x Anna Magdalena CalitzM - which reads the grant's 'Daniel son' as the patronymic, exactly. His younger brother JAN HENDRIK STRYDOM (b. 11 Oct 1804) married Cornelia Francina Magdalena Elizabeth MeyerM - the woman J.D.J. Oosthuizen's infant daughter was named for in full at her 1852 Prince Albert baptism (PER-000470). So by 1852 the Rondabel Strydoms and the Middelwater Oosthuizens were close enough for a godmother-grade vernoeming across the two families [TO VERIFY: the register image, and the grantee's identity on folio 989].
*** [23 Aug 2026] THE SIBSHIP MARRIED IN BLOCS, AND IT IS THE SHAPE OF THIS WHOLE PROJECT. *** Of the thirteen children of Ockert Jacobus OosthuizenL (PER-000118) with a recorded marriage, SEVEN married children of just TWO households - and in each case they married SIBLINGS.
THE VENTER BLOC, all children of Jan Louis VenterL (PER-000120, b.1754) and Johanna Jacomina SmitM: Ockert Almero x ADRIANA CECILIA VENTER (Oct 1807, Swellendam); Dina Magdalena x JAN LOUIS VENTER the younger; Cornelia Petronella x PETRUS JACOBUS VENTER.
THE STRYDOM BLOC, all children of Daniel Jacobus StrydomM (PER-000337) and Anna Magdalena CalitzM (PER-000338): Jacobus Johannes x ANNA MAGDALENA STRIJDOM (6 Mar 1808, Uitenhage); Cornelis Andries x JOHANNA MACHTELD PETRONELLA STRYDOM (11 Apr 1813); Roelof Adolph x HESTER MARIA CATHARINA STRYDOM; and SARA MARIA OOSTHUIZEN x DAVID JAN STRYDOM - the man granted RONDABEL on 15 April 1841.
A LIKELY THIRD PAIR: Gerrit Adriaan married Petronella Catharina SchoemanM and Pieter Marthinus married Catharina Elisabeth SchoemanM. Neither Schoeman has a recorded parent here, so whether they were sisters is UNTESTED - and the pattern is exactly why it must be tested rather than assumed. An eighth tie runs through the Bothas: Susanna Johanna married Jan Hendrik BothaL, whose mother was a HESTER VENTER.
THE TIMING IS TIGHT. The Venter marriage of October 1807 and the Strydom marriage of March 1808 are FIVE MONTHS APART, and the father died in April 1809. The two alliances were made in the last eighteen months of his life and were still being made fifteen years later.
WHAT IT EXPLAINS: Rondabel. David Jan StrydomH held it from 1841 and it was with Jan Adriaan OosthuizenL by 1868 - and David Jan was married to Jan Adriaan's AUNT. See STO-0043.

What the record is missing
-
27 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow
second order · B1 succession
On Rondabel, David Jan StrydomH (Daniel son) is the last owner recorded from 1841-04-15, and the next entry is Jan Adriaan OosthuizenL and Stephanus Johannes TheronL from 1868-01-21, 27 years later, with no person in common. DOC-0186 records the later arrival but not the 27 years before it.
What would settle it The Deeds Office transfer register for this farm between 1841 and 1868. A transfer names its predecessor in title, so one deed closes the whole gap.
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.
