Die sitasie soos dit gegee is

Supplied by , alongside the target card, without comment. | *** THE POINT OF IT IS THE COLUMN STRUCTURE, WHICH IS BETTER THAN ANY ROLL THIS PROJECT ALREADY HOLDS. *** Left leaf: 'NAMES OF INHABITANTS ABOVE SIXTEEN YEARS OF AGE' with Men, Women, Sons, Daughters, Servants, then Males above 16, Males under 16, Females above 16, Females under 16. Right leaf: 'WINE, BRANDY &c.' (Leaguers of Wine made, Leaguers of Brandy made), Waggons, Carts; then 'LANDED PROPERTY' - Freehold Farms, Erfs in Freehold, Quit Rent Farms, Erfs in Quit Rent, Morgen in Quit Rent, Roods in Quit Rent, LOAN PLACES; then 'NAMES of PLACES and ERFS'; then 'WHERE SITUATED, AND AT WHAT DISTANCE FROM THE DROSTDY'; then 'For what Agricultural Purposes adapted'. | *** THAT LAST GROUP IS A LOCATING INSTRUMENT FOR FARMS THAT HAVE NO NUMBER AND NO DIAGRAM. *** The entries are written out in full: 'Occupies the Place DOORNFONTEIN of which no title has been obtained' - 'Between Swartberg & Fish River' - '4 1/2 hours' - 'Grazing'; 'Occupies the Place MEYERSKRAAL of which no title has been obtained' - 'Situated at [?Kougaars] River' - 'Five hours' - 'Grazing'; 'occupies the Place KALKOENZ FONTEIN no Title obtained' - 'Six hours'; 'occupies the Place [?Simbrits] Kraal' - 'Situated at Swartewaterberg' - 'Five hours'. Men with no ground of their own get 'Resides with his father', 'do with H. J. Lombaard', 'Resides with the Wed. Nel'. | *** WHY IT MATTERS TO THIS PROJECT: DE MODDER FONTEYN IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF FARM THIS COLUMN DESCRIBES. *** It was a loan place never converted to quitrent, so it was never surveyed, has no number and no diagram, and LEAD-0220 has been stuck on where it stood since July. A roll of THIS format covering the Olifants ward would say so in words - the place, that no title was obtained, where it was situated, and how many hours from the drostdy. LEAD-0294. | THIS OPENING IS NOT THE KOUP. Its places sit 'Between Swartberg & Fish River', at the [?Kougaars] River and at Swartewaterberg, which is eastern ground - Uitenhage or Graaff-Reinet rather than Beaufort. The households are van Dyk, Grobbelaar, Geyer, Els, Hartzberg, van Aardt, de Lange, Nel, Bezuydenhout, Vivier, van der Meulen and Potgieter, and the page totals 20 men and 18 women. Two surnames this project watches appear among the wives: SUSARA JACOMINA VAN TONDERS and ELSJE VAN DER MERWE. Nothing is matched - 9. | *** [23 Aug 2026] THE YEAR AND VOLUME ARE ESTABLISHED: 1819, VOLUME J 5. *** [FAMILY] Latter three was 1819. previous ones was 1822. - the target card he sent belongs to THESE pages, not to film 008145114. So this is the earliest opgaafrol opening this project holds in the printed English form, and it is three years earlier than the Beaufort roll of SRC-558. The DISTRICT is still open.

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.

Niks in die model haal hierdie bron nog aan nie.
