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.

[30 Sep 2026, SRC-417 / DOC-0291] THE FIELD-CORNET IN WHOSE WARD WELBEDAGT LAY. The 1823 erfpacht survey places the farm 'in het adjunct District Clanwilliam en aldaar in de agter hantam, VeldCornetschap van Hendrik VolgraeffH'. Recorded on the precedent of PER-000484, the Tulbagh veldkornet of 1816: 6 admits people named in the farm papers, and a veldcornetcy is useful beyond this one sheet - it is a geographic unit that helps place OTHER farms named on the rolls of the same period. Nothing else is known of him and the spelling is the diagram's; Frans's image of the same passage reads VOLGRAFF, one f fewer, which is ordinary drift (5a rule 6). [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.
