Research notes

[5 Aug 2026, DOC-0240] Read off the deduction table on the back of the Minnies Kraal No. 112 diagram - survey record E2090/55 - which lists all eight portions cut from the farm in the single 1955 campaign, each with its own diagram and 1956 deed. Gedeelte 8 ('Ged' is Gedeelte, Portion - : SG diagram 8739/1955, 1778.8239 morgen, deed 2304/1956. The diagram itself is not held here; this row rests on the parent's deduction table. TRANSCRIPTION CHECKED AGAINST THE GROUND: the recorded extent and the modern cadastral polygon for this portion agree to within about 1%, which is what gives confidence in a faint table. The largest of the four added here.

[13 Aug 2026, SRC-436] NAMED FROM THE 2023 VALUATION ROLL, which gives this portion as "Klein Minnieskraal" (1524.5360 ha). This row previously read "Minnies Kraal Portion 8 (No. 112 Ptn 8)", which was a farm-and-portion label rather than a name. The roll is a rates document and good evidence for what the ground is called now; it says nothing about what it was called when the portion was cut.

The research behind this page, kept separate from it: dated working notes, open questions, and what is not yet settled.

What the record is missing

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Klein Minnieskraal (Minnies Kraal No. 112 Ptn 8) 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.
