Navorsingsnotas

[SRC-113] Named as co-holder of Vaste Water (PAR-000040) alongside PER-000324, per the 1923 beacon report's own reference to "LT plan 1884". Not otherwise identified.

[25 Aug 2026] Possibly Johan Nicolaas BothaM (PER-001279), husband of Susanna Catharina OosthuizenL - same initials, and Vaste Water is the right ground for the dagboek's 'oom Klaas Botha'. Name-and-initials only; not merged. [TO VERIFY]

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.

Wat die rekord kortkom

39 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow second order · B1 succession
On Vaste Water (Middelwater Nr. 169 Gdlt 5), J.D.J. Oosthuyson / O.A. OosthuysenM (reading uncertain) and J.N. BothaH is the last owner recorded from 1884-03-24, and the next entry is Susanna Maria KlueM from 1923-04-26, 39 years later, with no person in common. DOC-0076 records the later arrival but not the 39 years before it.

What would settle it The Deeds Office transfer register for this farm between 1884 and 1923. A transfer names its predecessor in title, so one deed closes the whole gap.

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.
