The citation as it was given

RECORDED SO THAT IT IS NOT SEARCHED TWICE. A careful and well indexed register, and on the evidence of a full-text read it has nothing for this district. Its fifty-six Oosthuizen mentions are twentieth-century and Transvaal, Free State and Northern Cape - Potchefstroom, Klerksdorp, Jacobsdal, Boshof, Amersfoort - and its Prins Albert, De Rust and Uniondale entries are modern people born or teaching there, not families of this ground. AND ITS 'SPREEUFONTEIN' IS A FALSE FRIEND: the farm in this register is SPREEUFONTEIN, SCHWEIZER-RENEKE, in the old western Transvaal, not Spreeufontein No. 26 in the Koup. That is 5's namesake substitution arriving in a family register rather than in a place string, and it is the only reason this source looked promising on a keyword scan.

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.

Nothing in the model cites this source yet.
