In the model from the cadastre pull only, nothing in the record yet says who held this ground or why it belongs here. 66 km from Klaarstroom.

What the record holds, in order

No dated record on this parcel yet. It is on the map because the Surveyor-General has a polygon for it; the history is not transcribed.

Ground that touches this farm on the Surveyor-General's current polygons and that none of the diagrams held here names. Derived from the geometry, not read off a document.

Research notes

[13 Aug 2026] DISTRICT CONTEXT, AND NOTHING MORE. Added when Frans extended the western bound another 10 km- "many graves there", and he is right: ten burial grounds already recorded here sit in this strip, several of them named for the farms themselves. The name is the Surveyor-General's own P_FARMNAME (VRISGEWAAGD) and the polygon is his; the cadastre gives the whole farm as 6666.5 ha. Nothing here records who held this ground or when.

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

Open questions

Which Vrischgewaagd did Pieter Marthinus Oosthuizen die on, and how does his household reach this record? priority 1 · LEAD-0188
[FAMILY] Interesting, i did not know this farm was in family! vrischgewag. PER-000846, Pieter Marthinus OosthuizenM (FS GMGP-4RD, 1850-1925), is already in this model as a thin row. His 1925 death notice gives his usual residence AND his intended burial place as VRISCHGEWAAGD, district Prince Albert. This project draws two farms of that name - Vrisch Gewagt No. 163 (PAR-000130) and Vrisgewaagd No. 152 (PAR-000267) - and the 2023 valuation roll names a third piece, farm 163 portion 7, and a fourth on farm 221. WHICH ONE, and is he buried there?

What would settle it A grave, a deed, or a coordinate. Any one of the three names the farm; an argument from the name alone will not, as the Bloemendal case showed on 13-14 Aug 2026.

What the record is missing

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Vrisgewaagd No. 152 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.
