Die sitasie soos dit gegee is
Sworn 15, 16 and 17 March 1751. 10 folios plus the Somma and certification, scans 0316-0326, running straight on from the Drakenstein roll. | Folio 3 line 12 is JACOBUS OOSTHUIJSEN and DINA BRETS, which places this project's paternal line in the Swellendam district two years after their Tulbagh marriage. | SCAN QUALITY MATTERS HERE AND IS RECORDED ON PURPOSE. The archive serves three sizes. The api/file/v1/img endpoint is hard-capped at h=1000, which gives a 2249x1000 image of a TWO-PAGE SPREAD - about forty pixels per ruled row, the scale at which this project misread Oliphants for Ockerts on 18 Aug 2026. The api/file/v1/render endpoint returns 5000 px for about 600 kB and is what these readings were taken from; the original TIFF is roughly 200 MB and was not needed. Note that render answers 404 to HEAD and 200 to GET. | THE ROLL CHECKS ITSELF. Each folio opens on a Pr Transport and closes on a Transporteere, so the difference is that folio's own count and every transcription can be tested against it before anything is built on it. | *** THESE ROLLS DO NOT NAME FARMS, AND THAT DATES A PAGE THIS PROJECT COULD NOT DATE. *** Frans noticed itand it holds across all three volumes. The column set runs: Mannen, Vrouwen, Zoons, Dogters, Knegts, Slaven and the slave sub-columns, then Paarden, Runderen, Schapen, Varkens, Wynstocken, Leggers Wyn, then Tarwe, Rog and Garst each gesaaijt and gewonnen, and it ENDS ON THE WEAPONS - Snaphanen, Deegens, Pistolen. Read off the 1770 leaf directly; the 1751 legend and the 1760 leaf agree. THERE IS NO FARMS COLUMN IN 1751, 1760 OR 1770. | THE 1808 ROLL HAS ONE (SRC-485), naming each household's ground with 'gel: aan' and a river. So the column is a LATER ADDITION TO THE FORM, appearing somewhere between 1770 and 1808. | TWO CONSEQUENCES. FIRST, A LIMIT WORTH STATING PLAINLY: these three rolls place a household IN A DISTRICT and not on named ground. 'Who held which farm' cannot be answered from them at all, only 'who was in Swellendam'. For a project about land that is a real boundary on what this series can deliver. | SECOND, IT DATES SRC-483. That page - the farms column carrying wolfe fonteijn and de buffelskloof aan de Swartberg, and the contested Ockerts-or-Oliphants kraal - arrived with no title, no folio, no film and no repository. Its structure now gives it a terminus post quem: A PAGE WITH A FARMS COLUMN IS POST-1770. That does not identify it, and 5a-ii still applies, but it removes three decades of candidates and it was got from the document's own shape rather than from a guess. | 19 Aug 2026: the 1770 roll (SRC-490) completes a three-point series. Swellendam burghers 639 (1751), 1034 (1760), 1692 (1770) - doubling about every eleven years, against +20% at the Cape over the same nineteen years.
