THE FIELD CORNETCY OF TRAKA IS THIS PROJECT'S OWN, AND THIS SHEET DRAWS ITS EASTERN END. PLC-000022 already said the Traka ward straddles the Prince Albert / Willowmore boundary; this is the ground on the Willowmore side. Sixteen numbered farms, twelve of which pin to the Willowmore cadastre (C0830000) and form one contiguous block of 59,205 ha centred about 76 km east of Klaarstroom - the adjacency in the cadastre reproduces the arrangement drawn on the plan, which is what confirms the identification. | THE FOUR THAT DO NOT PIN are 35 and 37 (Slagters Kuil Lots A and B), 80 Paarde Poort and 81 Witkops Leegte: no polygon in the Willowmore division carries those numbers. LEAD-0278. | NO FAMILY HOLDING IS RECORDED ON ANY OF THE SIXTEEN. The sheet carries one personal name, 'Johannes Jacobus Botha 17 Feb 1880' against Kraai Rivier, and it is not matched (LEAD-0279).

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.
