What the record is missing

• Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held

  Van Aardsfontein No. 109 is in the model and drawn on the map, and carries no ownership record of any kind, not a grant, not a transfer, not an occupation.

  What would settle it The Surveyor-General's diagram for the farm number names the grantee and the date; the deed reference on it opens the transfer chain.

Found by breaks.py reading the model against itself, not written by hand, each one is a shape of missing record, not a fault in the data. The whole set is on the questions page.
