Navorsingsnotas

GAO / Tokkie; Rondabel; Frans step-grandfather

29 Jul 2026 [SRC-074] first married FRANCES DUMINY JOUBERT (PER-000175) at Bellville, 25 Aug 1945 - the sister of Frans's grandmother Anna Tobia. Three children. After Frances died in 1965 he was the partner of Maria Magritha van RensburgH (PER-000013), Frans's maternal grandmother; FamilySearch records no marriage event for that union.

[9 Aug 2026, SRC-345] HE RAN THE PRINCE ALBERT LANDBOUGENOOTSKAP, and the commemorative book carries a signed piece by him with his photograph. In his own words: *"Prins Albert bied jaarliks een van die gewildste plattelandse tentoonstellings aan... Die Landbougenootskap is die enigste organisasie waar die inwoners van die dorp en distrik saamwerk om een gemeenskaplike doel te verwesenlik."* He closes by thanking the secretary MEV ANNIE SCHOEMAN, "my regterhand" MNR BERNARD STEGMANN, and MEV KATIE KLUE - a Klue, which is a surname this record already carries at Klueplaas and on Remhoogte.

[9 Aug 2026, SRC-344] AND HE BRED ANGORAS AT STUD. The 2009 obituary of Clive van Hasselt records that the SWARTBERG STUD NO. 242, which van Hasselt acquired in 1995, "had a wide genetic mix gained through selective group breeding with Tokkie Marincowitz, Fanie Schoeman, Frank Heroldt and Philip Schutte". So he was one of four breeders working a shared gene pool in the Prince Albert district, which is a different and more specific thing than farming.

THIS IS THE FIRST WORKING LIFE THIS ROW HAS HELD. It had his two marriages and the word Rondabel. He now has an office, an industry and a stud.

[9 Aug 2026] DO NOT READ THE 2009 JOURNAL'S BRANCH CHAIRMAN AS HIM. SRC-344 carries two Marincowitz men in one issue: he is named on p.84, in Clive van Hasselt's obituary, for stud work done years earlier, and the branch list on p.8 gives the Prins Albert chairman as a Marincowitz farming from Klaarstroom. THAT IS HIS SON, NOT HIM. He died on 4 July 2003, six years before the issue was printed. A reader meeting the surname twice in one magazine will join the two, and the son is living, so this record says no more about him than that he exists. [FAMILY] Do not confuse tokkie, with his son, chris marincowitz.

He had three children by Frances Duminy JoubertH, all living and all held back by the privacy rule. Between them the valuation roll puts Rondabel, Oude Muure, Kopjes Kraal and Klipgat in the family's hands, which is how the Marincowitz name is still on this ground eighty years after he was born on it.

These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.

Die werksnotas op hierdie werf word in Engels gehou en word nie vertaal nie. Hulle verander met elke navorsingsessie, en 'n vertaling sou uit pas raak met die oorspronklike. Alles anders — die stories, die getranskribeerde dokumente en die koppelvlak — is in Afrikaans.

Oop vrae

The two graves at the Rondabel huis prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0011
Who lies in the two graves close to the Rondabel farmhouse?

Wat dit sou uitmaak Reading the stones, or a burial entry naming the farm
Where exactly is Vischat / 'fisgat', and what is its real name? prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0018
Vischat is where Frans's grandfather Hendrik Lodewyk Malherbe OosthuizenM farmed until 1979 and where his father CJJ grew up, yet the model has no ground for it: no extent, no geometry, no ownership row, no document. Which parcel does it actually sit on, and is the name Vischgat/Visgat?

Wat dit sou uitmaak The purchase deed - it will name the parcel Vischat forms part of. Failing that, a topo sheet showing the werf, or CJJ simply saying which farm it was on.
Which Bloemendal did Tokkie own, and when did he hold it and Tabaklande? prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0187
[FAMILY] Tokkie also owned Bloemendal and Tabaklande. Tabaklande is unambiguous - farm 164 portion 2, now PAR-000201. BLOEMENDAL IS NOT: this district has three farms of that name and a fourth thing called Bloemendal inside one of them. Bloemendal Annex No. 164 (PAR-000128), Bloemendaal No. 165 (PAR-000093), Bloemendal A No. 166 (PAR-000129), and the 2023 valuation roll also names farm 165 portion 2 'Bloemendal' at 15.4 ha. Which one is it, and what are the dates of both holdings?

Wat dit sou uitmaak Frans naming which Bloemendal, or a deeds report showing the transfers in and out.
Vischat, Vischgat or Visgat, and where does the name come from? prioriteit 3 · LEAD-0024
The place is now located (PLC-000034, on Rondabel). What is its actual name, and does any document use it?

Wat dit sou uitmaak Any document or map using the name, or CJJ simply saying it.
The drill bit on Rondabel, whose rig, and which of the four searches? prioriteit 3 · LEAD-0051
There is a drill bit on Tokkie's farm Rondabel (PAR-000009) from exploration drilling, which Frans remembers as French and dates to the 1950s, 60s or 70s. Whose was it?

Wat dit sou uitmaak A photograph of the maker's mark, or a borehole on Rondabel in the national register.

Wat die rekord kortkom

“F.S. Marincowitz” held ground next door and we have no tenure for them third order · B4 unheld-owner
A boundary description for Botterkraal (Jansenskraal Nr. 104 Gdlt 2) names F.S. MarincowitzM, a surveyor stating on the record that this person held the adjoining ground. We do hold Marincowitz tenure elsewhere, but none on this boundary and none at this date.

What would settle it The diagram's own date fixes the window. The quitrent or erfpacht register for that year names the holder of the adjoining place, and an estate inventory will name the farm outright.

Found by breaks.py reading the model against itself, not written by hand, each one is a shape of missing record, not a fault in the data. The whole set is on the questions page.
