Navorsingsnotas

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

• Who was Petrus Oosthuizen of Klaarstroom, and how is he related? prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0029

  The village at the centre of this project's anchor was laid out on his land in 1858-60 and originally named Petersburg for him. He is not in the model's family. Where does he sit, and is he a descendant of the root couple?

  Wat dit sou uitmaak The death notice - it names parents, spouses and surviving children.

• N. Hitge's true footprint on Vrolykheid - and his relationship to Frans's own Hitge ancestors prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0009

  Did N. HitgeM's 1841 title (B.W.Q.5.18) actually cover more of Vrolykheid than the ~2,177-morgen Wit Plaats portion recorded for him - and how is N. HitgeM (PER-000044) related to Aletta Catharina Maria Helena HitgeM (PER-000139, Frans's own direct 2x-great-grandmother) and to Hester Carolina Adriana HitgeH (PER-000178, who married into the Marincowitz line)?

  Wat dit sou uitmaak A record giving N. HitgeM's full given name and naming his children, matched against Aletta Catharina Maria Helena HitgeM (b.1846) and Hester Carolina Adriana HitgeH (b.1826) - if both are his daughters, or one his daughter and the other a niece or cousin, that settles the family relationship and gives a documented reason one 1841 title could legitimately be cited across multiple later Vrolykheid portions, subdivided within the Hitge family before ever reaching Marincowitz hands

Wat die rekord kortkom

• The record stops in 1871 and never resumes second order · B2 trail-ends

  Kopjes Kraal was worked as far as 1871-05-17, with Ger(H)olm Marincowitz the last owner on record. 155 years follow with nothing. Who held it after that, and is it still one farm?

  What would settle it The current title deed traced backwards, each transfer names the one before it, or the Surveyor-General's subdivision diagrams, which are what usually explain a farm going quiet.

• The record stops in 1890 and never resumes second order · B2 trail-ends

  Vrolikheid was worked as far as 1890-05-13, with Ger(H)olm Marincowitz the last owner on record. 136 years follow with nothing. Who held it after that, and is it still one farm?

  What would settle it The current title deed traced backwards, each transfer names the one before it, or the Surveyor-General's subdivision diagrams, which are what usually explain a farm going quiet.

• “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.
