Navorsingsnotas

[31 Jul 2026 inbox] The loan farm Wilgamount (PAR-000087) was surveyed FOR him in August 1833 (DOC-0117), but the 1841 grant went to J.M.J. van VuurenM - the same survey-applicant-is-not-grantee distinction already recorded on Klipfontein and Vrolykheid. Van Veuren and van Vuuren are the same surname in period spelling, so the two men are probably kin and possibly the same person; neither is asserted.

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.
