Navorsingsnotas

[31 Jul 2026 inbox] Took transfer of Rossel Erf on deed 3908 of 15 June 1908 (DOC-0127). INITIALS ONLY, not matched. Worth flagging that du Plessis is already in this model on adjoining ground - Ignatius Michael du PlessisM held half the opstal on Rondabel in 1818 (OWN-000025) - but 1818 and 1908 are ninety years apart and no relationship is claimed.

*** [23 Aug 2026] NAMED, FROM HIS OWN GRAVE ON THE FARM HE BOUGHT. *** GRV-0711 at the Reim Hoogte 167 farm cemetery reads JACOBUS JOHANNES PETRUS DU PLESSIS 1869-1941 - the initials, the farm and the age all agree, so this row is no longer 'J.J.P.'. [TO VERIFY] on deed 3908 itself.

Verouderd: hieronder beantwoord *** AND HE IS ALMOST CERTAINLY CECILIA MARIA DU PLESSIS'S BROTHER. *** He lies in the same small plot as JOHANNES GYSBERTUS DU PLESSIS (PER-001879, 1826-1913) and JOHANNA ELIZABETH VAN ROOYEN (PER-001880, 1831-1913), who are her parents; born 1869, he would be their son by a mother of 38. No parentage row is written on that alone - a shared farm plot is strong and is not a register - but it is the likeliest reading and it is the thing to check next. LEAD-0275.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE DISTRICT: the du Plessis were not visitors who married in. Cecilia Maria's father and mother are buried on REIM HOOGTE No. 167 and her probable brother BOUGHT a portion of it in 1908.

*** [23 Aug 2026] HIS HEADSTONE, READ FROM THE PHOTOGRAPH: 'GEB. 21 JUNIE 1869 / GES. 20 JUNIE 1941'. *** Dates sharpened from years to days. He died the day before his seventy-second birthday. The stone confirms the full name in full capitals, which is what turns the initials on deed 3908 into a person: JACOBUS JOHANNES PETRUS DU PLESSIS, buried on the farm whose Portion 1 he took transfer of in 1908. GRV-0711.

*** [23 Aug 2026] LEAD-0275 ANSWERED: YES. JACOBUS JOHANNES PETRUS DU PLESSIS (1869-1941) IS CECILIA MARIA'S BROTHER. *** A FamilySearch family view supplied by Frans gives JOHANNES GYSBERTUS DU PLESSIS (1826-1913, KC34-PVM) and JOHANNA ELIZABETH VAN ROOYEN (1831-1913, L631-CW5), married 27 NOVEMBER 1848 AT GEORGE, with NINETEEN CHILDREN - among them CECILIA MARIA 1857-1895 (GHW4-KDS, the id this project already held) and JACOBUS JOHANNES PETRUS 1869-1941 (GHLG-66D), whose years match his Reim Hoogte headstone to the day.

SO THE MAN WHO BOUGHT ROSSEL ERF ON REIM HOOGTE No. 167 IN 1908 AND IS BURIED ON IT WAS THE BROTHER OF THE WOMAN BURIED ON RONDABEL. The du Plessis were not visitors who married into this district: the parents lie on Reim Hoogte, a son bought a portion of it, and a daughter married into the Theron-Oosthuizen circle at Rondabel.

HIS PARENTS ARE CONFIRMED TOO, matching the fan chart exactly: Daniel Jacobus du PlessisM 1802-1879 (LC5W-JYL) and Susanna Johanna Catharina van der WesthuizenM 1803-1852 (9WVN-24K), married 4 AUGUST 1822 AT GEORGE, eight children.

BOTH MARRIAGES ARE AT GEORGE, which is the district the Olifants prequel ground sat in - so this family was George-district before it was Prince Albert.

THE SIBSHIP IS NOT IMPORTED. Nineteen children is exactly the bulk 6 says not to pull; the ids are recorded here so any of them can be fetched when something ties them to this ground.

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 1908 and never resumes second order · B2 trail-ends
Rossel Erf (Reim Hoogte Nr. 167 Gdlt 1) was worked as far as 1908-06-15, with Jacobus Johannes Petrus du PlessisH the last owner on record. 118 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.
