Wat ons nie weet nie
- Geen geboortedatum is aangeteken nie.
- Geen sterfdatum is aangeteken nie.
- Nie een ouer is aangeteken nie, dus hang hierdie mens nie aan die boom bo hom of haar nie.
- Geen gedateerde rekord bind hierdie mens aan 'n bepaalde stuk grond nie.
- Niks gedateerds is hoegenaamd oor hulle aangeteken nie; hulle is hier omdat 'n ander rekord hulle noem.
A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.
Navorsingsnotas
Klaare Stroom loan farm, 1833 [floruit] Named on SG diagram 350/1833 (DOC-0189): the loan farm Klaare Stroom with its annexed Government ground, 6498 morgen, 'Surveyed for the Widow Du PreH', C. Lennox Stretch, August 1833. She held the ground EIGHT YEARS BEFORE the 15 April 1841 grant that this project has treated as the farm's beginning. A widow, so a husband held it before her and is not named on the sheet. No forename, no dates: the diagram gives a status and a surname and this row does not invent the rest. [TO VERIFY] against the opgaafrolle and the quitrent register.
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.
