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.

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.
[28 Aug 2026] NOT RESOLVED, BUT THE FIELD IS NARROWER. Hermanus Carel du PreezM held Klaare Stroom in 1822 (PER-001911) and died on 14 July 1839, six years AFTER this diagram. So the widow of August 1833 is not his widow, and Catharina Beatrix OlivierM outlived him to 1857 in any case. She is a du Preez widow of another household, or the surname on the sheet is a different family altogether. [TO VERIFY]
