What the record is missing

• 22 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow second order · B1 succession

  On Swanepoel's Aanleg (Swanepoelsaanleg), Jacobus Johannes SwanepoelH (b6c5d7e5) is the last owner recorded from 1857-03-10, and the next entry is Frederik Hendrik SwanepoelM (b6c5d7e3) from 1879-04-22, 22 years later, with no person in common. DOC-0056 records the later arrival but not the 22 years before it.

  What would settle it The Deeds Office transfer register for this farm between 1857 and 1879. 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.
