[16 Sep 2026] Read by a reading pass for Salomon Terblans and Modder Fontyn (SRC-638, PAR-000065). Figures below are as that pass reported them and are NOT rechecked against the page unless marked. The pass did not read the names sides of images 342-374 or 384-408 line by line, so its Oosthuizen list is partial. THE WARD: opens image 376 with '1 Hendrik Pt. Grobblaar Veldct.' (Buffels Klip, 1 erfpacht) after the previous ward's Totaal; closes image 382 at 91 'Willem Engelbregt'; the next ward opens with Louis Joh. Botha Veldct. (the Cango). No ward name is written.

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.
