Research notes
Granted Rondabel on perpetual quitrent 15 Apr 1841, folio 989, Division of Beaufort.
30 Jul 2026 PROBABLE TREE ANCHOR [TREE]: DAVID JAN JACOBUS STRYDOM, b. 12 Aug 1798, son of DANIEL JACOBUS STRYDOM (~1754) x Anna Magdalena CalitzM - which reads the grant's 'Daniel son' as the patronymic, exactly. His younger brother JAN HENDRIK STRYDOM (b. 11 Oct 1804) married Cornelia Francina Magdalena Elizabeth MeyerM - the woman J.D.J. Oosthuizen's infant daughter was named for in full at her 1852 Prince Albert baptism (PER-000470). So by 1852 the Rondabel Strydoms and the Middelwater Oosthuizens were close enough for a godmother-grade vernoeming across the two families [TO VERIFY: the register image, and the grantee's identity on folio 989].
These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.
What the record is missing
-
27 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow
second order · B1 succession
On Rondabel, David Jan StrydomH (Daniel son) is the last owner recorded from 1841-04-15, and the next entry is Jan Adriaan OosthuizenL and Stephanus Johannes TheronL from 1868-01-21, 27 years later, with no person in common. DOC-0186 records the later arrival but not the 27 years before it.
What would settle it The Deeds Office transfer register for this farm between 1841 and 1868. A transfer names its predecessor in title, so one deed closes the whole gap.
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.
