Die formele doopnaam en die naam waarop iemand werklik geroep is, word albei gehou, en nie een word van die ander afgelei nie. Spelling wat van rekord tot rekord verskil, is self getuienis en nie geraas nie.

A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

Navorsingsnotas

[DIAGRAM] Government Surveyor. Framed the 1874 resurvey of Modderdrift No. 106 (SG Dgm 877/1875, DOC-0154) and signed the beacon note on it. Already named in the model as the surveyor of the 1863 Oorlogs Kloof resurvey (DOC-0073's notes) without having had a record of his own until now. [1 Aug 2026]

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.
