Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.

Research notes

DIRECT ANCESTOR - Frans's 7x-great-grandfather. [SRC-072] Son of Friedrich Conradie and Hermina Harmenz. Married Rosa SwanepoelH at Stellenbosch 19 Jul 1737 and took transfer of his father-in-law's farm Nieuwmunster on 26 Oct 1747. Died at Wolseley (Tulbagh) 18 Jul 1776. Descent to Frans: Rosa & Johannes Hendrik -> Pieter ConradieH (1744) -> Willem Johannes ConradieM (1776) -> Pieter Jacobus ConradieM (1800) -> Maria Elizabeth ConradieM (1825) -> Martha Gertruida OlivierM (1864) -> Petrus Gideon van RensburgL (1891) -> Maria Magritha van RensburgM (1928) -> Frans's mother (1953) -> Frans. The last two steps are living people and are given by relationship rather than by name, so the descent is checkable without publishing them.

[4 Aug 2026, SRC-259] He BOUGHT NIEUWMUNSTER in 1747, the farm his father-in-law Pieter Jansz SwanepoelM had been granted in freehold in 1716. Boeseken and Cairns name him as the man through whom the Conradie family descends.

What the record is missing

38 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow second order · B1 succession
On Nieuwmunster (Land van Waveren), Pieter Jansz SwanepoelM is the last owner recorded from 1709, and the next entry is Johannes Hendrik ConradieL from 1747-10-26, 38 years later, with no person in common. DOC-0056 records the later arrival but not the 38 years before it.

What would settle it The Deeds Office transfer register for this farm between 1709 and 1747. 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. The whole set is on the questions page.
