Navorsingsnotas

[SRC-595] One of the two men to whom the QUITRENT TITLE of WILGER FONTEIN No. 59 was issued on 17 May 1875, jointly with Charl Johannes Antone MaraisM (PER-001936). In this project under 6's land clause - a grantee of ground in the district gets a record whether or not he sits in the tree. Nothing else is known of him here: no dates, no parents, no FS id. The farm's Portion 2 carries the family name, MARAISDAL.

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 1875 and never resumes second order · B2 trail-ends
Wilger Fontein Nr. 59 was worked as far as 1875-05-17, with Nicolaas Francois MaraisH and Charl Johannes Antone MaraisM the last owner on record. 151 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.
Holds ground once, and leaves no other trace at all second order · B5 one-trace
Nicolaas Francois MaraisH appears in exactly one land record and nowhere else, no birth, no death, no parents, no marriage, no burial, no estate. Who was this, and which family are they?

What would settle it A death notice (MOOC 6/9) names parents, spouse and children in one sheet and is the fastest way to attach an isolated landholder. Failing that, the baptism register for the district in the right decade.

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.
