Open questions

• Where exactly is Vischat / 'fisgat', and what is its real name? priority 2 · LEAD-0018

  Vischat is where Frans's grandfather Hendrik Lodewyk Malherbe OosthuizenM farmed until 1979 and where his father CJJ grew up, yet the model has no ground for it: no extent, no geometry, no ownership row, no document. Which parcel does it actually sit on, and is the name Vischgat/Visgat?

  What would settle it The purchase deed - it will name the parcel Vischat forms part of. Failing that, a topo sheet showing the werf, or CJJ simply saying which farm it was on.

• Vischat, Vischgat or Visgat, and where does the name come from? priority 3 · LEAD-0024

  The place is now located (PLC-000034, on Rondabel). What is its actual name, and does any document use it?

  What would settle it Any document or map using the name, or CJJ simply saying it.
