The citation as it was given
[16 Sep 2026] Read by a reading pass into data/opgaaf_land.csv; the Modder Fontyn line checked against the page. HALF RECOVERABLE: the names page for lines 1-40 (image 151) and the land leaf for lines 41-65 (image 154) were not downloaded, so the veldcornet and forty holders are unread. Image 152's place column has Kalbasfontein, Grobbe, Wanhoop, Schildpadbeen, Buffelsklip, Keurfontein, Diepe Kloof, Roode Heuvel, Kruis Rivier (line 28), 'MODDER RIVIER' (line 33, no vines, no wagon) and Misgunst (line 34), Hartebeest Rivier. No 'Modder Fontyn' in the pages read; Salomon Terblans x Hester Mare not found on the pages read. Whether line 33's Modder Rivier is the same place is open. A different Moeras Fontyn stands in the Hoogekraal ward (image 138). Missing: 121 122 142 145-148 150 151 154 156.
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.
