Navorsingsnotas

[31 Jul 2026 inbox] Named on SG dgm 388/1816 (DOC-0074), Vrolykheid No. 61, Tulbagh. The holder: the figure ABCDE is 'de in Erfpacht verzochte Leeningsplaats van T. G. Hugo'. INITIALS ONLY - deliberately NOT matched to anyone in the tree. The tree holds 116 Hugos, 7 of them Tulbagh-placed, incl. Jacobus Hugo b. 14 May 1765 Tulbagh (age 51 in 1816) and Christina Jacoba Hugo b. 10 Feb 1804 Tulbagh. None tested.

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

The record stops in 1816 and never resumes second order · B2 trail-ends
Vrolykheid Nr. 61 (Tulbagh) was worked as far as ../1816, with T.G. HugoH (Vrolykheid, Tulbagh, 1816) the last owner on record. 210 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.

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.
