Die sitasie soos dit gegee is
Background for the two economic waves this district lived through. Merinos from 1789; wool the staple by mid-century. Ostriches from the 1860s, peaking 1913 at 450 tonnes and 3 million pounds - the fourth most valuable export after gold, diamonds and wool - then gone after 1914.
Woordeliks gehou. Hierdie projek weerspreek gepubliseerde genealogieë en stel 'n familie se eie mondelinge oorlewering reg, so elke bewering moet nagegaan kan word deur iemand wat nie in die vertrek was nie.
