Wat ons nie weet nie
- Nie een ouer is aangeteken nie, dus hang hierdie mens nie aan die boom bo hom of haar nie.
- Geen gedateerde rekord bind hierdie mens aan 'n bepaalde stuk grond nie.
A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

Navorsingsnotas
Road engineer and Geological Surveyor of the Cape. Built the Swartberg Pass above Prince Albert (opened 10 Jan 1888); appointed geological and irrigation surveyor the same year; reported on the Prince Albert gold in 1891. Died on his 63rd birthday. Not a relative - a recurring figure in the district.
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.
