The citation as it was given
THE COLONY THIS FAMILY WAS LIVING IN WHILE EVERYTHING IN S042 AND S043 HAPPENS. It covers 1780-1830: the Cape passing from a Dutch settlement to a British Crown Colony through the occupations of 1795 and 1806 and the Batavian interval between, and the reforms each regime brought. | THE PROJECT'S OWN DATES SIT INSIDE IT. The 1802 estate went through a Swellendam drostdy under British rule; the 1809 estate went through the same office under a second British occupation; and GEORGE WAS CUT OUT OF SWELLENDAM ON 23 APRIL 1811 - an administrative reform of exactly the kind this paper is about, and the one that moves this family from one district to another without their moving at all. | STORY-VOICE'S TEST FOR CONTEXT IS THAT IT MUST EXPLAIN SOMETHING. This does: it is the answer to why the drostdy that handled a farm changed twice in a decade. Read for that and no further. | IN COPYRIGHT AND NOT PUBLISHED. The file is held for reading; no document row points at it, so nothing serves it. Cite it, quote it sparingly with attribution, and link to the publisher.
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.
