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

Navorsingsnotas
Thin record under 6's land rule: bought Kouwveldt/Klein Vallei (PAR-000088) from Ockert Almero OosthuizenL in 1897, per the seller's son's diary (SRC-586). PROBABLY the J.C. MullerM whose son A.P. Muller held Klein Valie by 1919 (PER-000496), and possibly PER-000035 - Jan is a Johannes noemnaam - but a name alone identifies nobody: all three rows stand apart until a deed joins them. [TO VERIFY]
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
-
19 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow
first order · B1 succession
On Klein Valie Nr. 182, Ockert Almero OosthuizenL is the last owner recorded from ../1878, and the next entry is Jan MüllerH (bought Klein Vallei, 1897) from 1897, 19 years later, with no person in common. No document records the handover at all.
What would settle it The Deeds Office transfer register for this farm between 1878 and 1897. A transfer names its predecessor in title, so one deed closes the whole gap.
