Christiaan Hendrik Swanepoel (b6c5d7e3f7g5h6i2). Seven generations of one Swanepoel line, of which chapters 4-7 are set in the Prince Albert district: Rietkuil, Wolwekraal, Venterskraal, Swanepoelsaanleg, Antjesfontein, Botterkraal, Vliegekraal, and Zeekoegat as the community centre. Heavily footnoted from KAB (MOOC, opgaafrolle, magistrate's correspondence), NGKA registers and the Akteskantoor, plus 1997-2002 farm visits, cemetery surveys and interviews. STRONG on land and archives; WEAK where it repeats secondary local history - it dates the gold rush to 1897, which is wrong (see STO-0002). Text supplied to the project as a pasted email, 29 Jul 2026; original authority file swanepoel_tak_2003.pdf.

Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
