Run - 'swop out the erf, check all the uniondale farms on the olifants river, and identify any before 1833'. | *** THE DATE DISTRIBUTION IS THE FINDING, AND IT IS A PICTURE OF A FRONTIER ARRIVING. *** 1802: ONE farm, NIETGENAAMD No. 9 (dgm 82/1802). Then nothing for seventeen years. 1819: EIGHT - Deugas 73, Naugusfontein 75, Oudepost 78, Uitvlugt 102, Rietfontein 107, Zand Drift 118, Groot Fontein 123, Welbedacht 131, all in one run of diagram numbers 290-316. 1821: THREE - Potjesfontein 147, Ongelegen 219, Welgelegen 229. 1826: TWO - Peters River 258, Kleinplaasie 259. 1829: ONE - Welbedacht 117. 1832: TWENTY-THREE, in one consecutive Petersen run. | *** THE 1832 RUN, IN NUMBER ORDER, IS THE CORNETCY'S OWN ROLL: *** 3 Schoongezigt 52 | 8 Zwaai Plaats 59 | 162 Omega 49 | 320 Jantjies Kraal 152 | B319 De Hoop 156 | 329 Elands Drift 161 | 336 Wilgeboom 51 | B337 Roodeheuvel 55 | 338 Buffels Klip 63 | B339 Roode Krans 48 | 340 Wilge River 46 | 341 Wilgehoute Rivier 69 | 342 FONTYN 70 | B344 Paarde Kloof 5 | 347 Paardefontein 79 | 351 Gorgida 14 | 352 Roodeklip 26 | B354 Misgund 25 | 355 Kleinplaasie 19 | 356 Zandfontein 21 | B368 Diep Rivier 168 | 369 Klynrivier 165 | 370 Avontuur 238 | 371 Holledrift 149. | *** AND OUR FAMILY IS THERE BEFORE ALL BUT ONE OF THESE SURVEYS. *** Ockert holds Modderfonteyn on the 1805 roll, dies on it in 1809, and his heir is enrolled in the cornetcy in 1811 and 1813 - years in which the whole division carried exactly ONE surveyed diagram. They were on the ground before the surveyor reached it, which is what a loan place is and why neither Modderfonteyn nor Wanhoop is in the cadastre. | THE -FONTEIN NAMES IN THE DIVISION, for the Modder Fonteyn search: FONTYN 70, PAARDEFONTEIN 79, ZANDFONTEIN 21, GROOT FONTEIN 123, POTJESFONTEIN 147, NAUGUSFONTEIN 75, RIETFONTEIN 107, KEURFONTEIN 45, MOERASFONTEIN 27. No Modderfontein. | THE TWO EARLIEST SHEETS ARE THE ONES TO READ NEXT, because their neighbour clauses name the loan places as they stood BEFORE 1832: dgm 82/1802 for Nietgenaamd 9, which predates Ockert's death by seven years, and the 1819 run of eight. | *** [20 Aug 2026] THE SWEEP WAS REDONE OVER PORTIONS, BECAUSE *** The first pass queried portion 0 for all 255 farms and nothing else, which is a real blind spot: a farm whose PARENT record is empty but whose portions carry documents would have read as having none. | THE RECHECK: portions 0 to 6 across all 255 farms, 1,530 probes, ZERO failures. RESULT: *** NOT ONE PRE-1833 DOCUMENT SITS ON A PORTION. *** All 125 are on the parent, so the original figure is unchanged. | THAT IS THE EXPECTED ANSWER AND IT IS WORTH SAYING WHY: a portion is CREATED by a subdivision, so its diagram is by construction later than its parent's. Diepe Kloof is the pattern - parent 417/1843, portions 1459/1884, 29/1885, 36/1885. A pre-1833 diagram on a portion would be an anomaly, not a normal find. | THE REAL BLIND SPOT WAS THE OTHER ONE, AND IT WAS ALSO CHECKED: SIX of the 255 farms have NO portion-0 document at all - KIRSTENHEIM 126, SAPTO KLOOF 169, WOLVEKRAAL 243, ANNEX VIJGE KRAAL SOUTH 275, SANDDRIFT 349 and KLEINPLAASIE 1939. Their portions were queried individually and carry 1898, 1930, 1951 and 2003 material only; two of the six carry nothing anywhere. So nothing pre-1833 was hidden behind an empty parent either. | THE LESSON GENERALISES AND BELONGS WITH THE OTHERS ON THIS FILM: when sweeping the CSG index for EARLY material, portion 0 is sufficient, but when sweeping for ANY material it is not - and the way to tell the difference is to count the empty parents, which costs one extra field in the loop.
