What the record is missing

• The record stops in 1933 and never resumes third order · B2 trail-ends

  Windwaai (Klein Valie No. 182 Ptn 9) was worked as far as 1933-09-07, with S.C. SooymanH (Windwaai, 1933) the last owner on record. 93 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.
