TEN IMAGES, 85 ENTRIES, TRANSCRIBED IN FULL to transcriptions/S3HY-6573-*.tsv - NOT PUBLISHED. The register opens '1819 Aantekening der kinderen die gedoopt zijn'. Every parent and every witness is in the TSVs; only what touches this project's people reaches the model. | WHAT THE RUN CONTAINS FOR US, counted across all 94 entries including the 1821 page (SRC-186): SWANEPOEL in 11 entries, OOSTHUIJSEN in 7, VENTER in 6, BOTHA in 4, DU PLESSIS and HATTING in 3 each, LUTTIG in 3, STRIJDOM in 2, VAN BUUREN/VAN VEUREN in 3, and one each of VAN TONDER, THERON and BOTMA. | THE PLACES ARE THE OTHER HALF OF THE VALUE. 32 births 'op Nieuweveld', 15 'in de Koup' or 'Coup', 6 'aan Kriedouw', 3 'in de Koupse Ruggen', and single instances of 'aan TRAKA', 'aan Swartberg', 'in de karoo', Ganka (Gamka), Soutrevier, Zoetendalsvallij, Sakrivier, Groot Vissrivier, Drieskop, Vlooijspoor, Druipvoortje and Kookvoortje. BOTH WARD NAMES APPEAR - Kriedouw AND Traka - which is the register's own confirmation of what the 1934 Vrolykheid diagrams show, where Traka is struck out for Kredouw. | SPELLING AS WRITTEN throughout: Oosthuijsen, Strijdom, Botma, van Buuren, Bretenbach. Nothing normalised.

Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
