Research notes
[TREE] Added 29 Jul 2026 under the people-related-to-the-land rule: child Frederik Simon OosthuizenM (PER-000006). Thin record; dates as in the tree.
30 Jul 2026, PROBABLE IDENTIFICATION [SRC-123][TREE]: he is the "E.A. Oosthuizen" who took ANNEX MODDERDRIFT (PAR-000069) by deed 13525 on 20.12.1937 (OWN-000061), aged 43 - the only E.A. Oosthuizen of the era in the tree; son of Frederick Simon (1856), grandson of J.D.J. His sister Anna Margaretha took Ptn 4 the same day - a sibling estate division [TO VERIFY on the deeds].
30 Jul 2026 [FS]: FamilySearch GZ5F-BVD, 1894-1970, with a portrait/document image; DEATH YEAR 1970 is new, from FS - so the Annex Modderdrift transferee of 1937 lived another 33 years on it.
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
-
The record stops in 1937 and never resumes
third order · B2 trail-ends
Annex Modderdrift (Rhemhoogte No. 125 Ptn 3) was worked as far as 1937-12-20, with Ernest Albert OosthuizenH the last owner on record. 89 years follow with nothing. Who held it after that, and is it still one farm?
What would settle it The current title deed traced backwards, each transfer names the one before it, or the Surveyor-General's subdivision diagrams, which are what usually explain a farm going quiet.
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.
