The citation as it was given
Arrived 3 Aug 2026 with the filename hint "112 2", which is wrong - the sheet is farm 115 and is endorsed 115/2, and the cadastre confirms 115 is CYFERFONTEIN while 112 is MINNIES KRAAL. The diagram carries the 1841 grant of the parent farm to J.L. Strydom, a full beacon table with coordinates, the Kouka River as part of the boundary, and the 1917 transfer to a Venter married to a Swanepoel. Its neighbours - Wolve Kraal, Toornits Kraal, Lot No. 1 of Cyferfontein, Klipgat - are a list of who held the ground around it.
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.
