Dit is dieselfde grond as Visgat (Rondabel Nr. 124 Gdlt 2), hier aangeteken onder 'n vroeëre naam. Dit word nie afsonderlik op die kaart geteken nie, want daar is net een stuk grond, en daardie bladsy dra dit.

Waarom hierdie plaas hier is

Hendrik Lodewyk Malherbe Oosthuizen het hier gewoon. Nog nie op die kaart geplaas nie.

Hendrik Lodewyk Malherbe Oosthuizen is regstreeks op hierdie grond aangeteken. Geen spoor nodig nie.

Stories

mentions this farm Vrolykheid Nr. 177: 'n plaasgeskiedenis
Die plaas waar die papier en die mense verskil. Stretch se opmeting van 1833 dra al klaar die name van gedeeltes wat eers 'n eeu later gesny word; twee titels gaan op een dag in 1841 uit, een aan 'n Oosthuisen en een aan 'n 'N. Hitge' wie se akte deur vier latere gedeeltes aangehaal word; 'n Triëstenaar trou in 1844 met 'n Hitge en hou die plaas toe hy in 1890 sterf; en 'n sterfkennis sit die Hitges uiteindelik self op die grond.
mentions this farm Vier grootouers, vier lande
Elkeen van die vier grootouers het sy eie bladsy. Hierdie een gaan oor hoe hulle bymekaargekom het, wat drie troues, vier jaar en een man wat in twee van hulle ingetrou het, gekos het. En oor die titel se belofte: vier lande, waarvan net een op 'n kaart aangewys kan word.
mentions this farm Die Oosthuizens van die Koup
Die familie waaroor die rekord hier die diepste loop. Agt geslagte ooswaarts, van 'n soldaat wat in 1685 op Tafelbaai se strand stap tot 'n boer wat in 1909 op Prince Albert gedoop word. 'n Boedelinventaris van 1809 wys 'n smidsvuur op die Olifantsrivier en verklaar meteens waarom die familie weg is: die plaas is aan die oudste seun verkoop, en die res moes grond gaan soek.

Navorsingsnotas

Grandfather Hendrik Lodewyk Malherbe OosthuizenH farmed here; Frans's father CJJ grew up on it. Later sold to Tokkie Marincowitz. [FAMILY] CORRECTION 29 Jul 2026: Marincowitz BOUGHT Vischat - it was NOT acquired out of Hendrik OosthuizenM's estate, as an earlier note said. [30 Jul 2026] NOT A REGISTERED FARM, and that is the explanation for the blanks here rather than a gap to be filled: NO farm name containing 'Vis'/'Fis' exists anywhere in the Prince Albert or Beaufort West cadastre pull. Vischat is a werf/place name, so it has no farm number, no surveyed extent and no cadastral polygon of its own, and it will never get a map pin in its own right - it can only be located via whatever parcel it sits on. THE farm_no CELL '124/142' IS NOT A FARM NUMBER: 124 and 142 are two separate registered farms in the Prince Albert RD - 124 = RONDABLE, 142 = FRANS KRAAL. Neither is Vrolykheid (177), which is the farm the 'portion: in Faans Kraal' cell points at via PAR-000034. CAUTION, TWO FRANS KRAALS (the 9 trap): the Frans/Faans Kraal of PAR-000034 is a 213.5677-morgen PORTION of Vrolykheid No.177 (SG Dgm 4933/1934), while cadastre FRANS KRAAL No.142 is a separate 1260.2 ha registered farm 83 km away at -33.0740,21.8044. Do not merge them. [TO VERIFY] the name: [FAMILY] Fisgat. Dutch visch = fish, gat = a pool - a 'visgat' is the pool in a Karoo river where fish hold out through the dry. 'Vischat' reads like VISCHGAT with the g lost in transcription. Recorded as a hypothesis; current_name is NOT changed and both spellings are kept. See LEAD-0018.

[13 Aug 2026, FAMILY] [FAMILY] Vischat is Visgat. This row and PAR-000116 are the same ground, and they are joined by a same_as link rather than merged, because ids are permanent and this row carries the vernacular record while PAR-000116 carries the cadastral one. The map draws the cadastral row only.

Werknotas, hier gewys omdat dit 'n private navorsingsbou is.

Die werksnotas op hierdie werf word in Engels gehou en word nie vertaal nie. Hulle verander met elke navorsingsessie, en 'n vertaling sou uit pas raak met die oorspronklike. Alles anders — die stories, die getranskribeerde dokumente en die koppelvlak — is in Afrikaans.

Oop vrae

141 people are on this site linked to nothing prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0074
Which parcels and people exist on the site as dead ends - reachable by a list, but linked to no document, story, owner or neighbour?

Wat dit sou uitmaak For the 106 tree-derived rows, a parentage pass merged from the family-tree on tree id - which 6 already names as the direction of travel and which would connect them wholesale rather than one at a time. For the three floating names, find the document each came from and link it.
Where exactly is Vischat / 'fisgat', and what is its real name? prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0018
Vischat is where Frans's grandfather Hendrik Lodewyk Malherbe OosthuizenH 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?

Wat dit sou uitmaak 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.

Wat die rekord kortkom

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Vischat is in the model, and carries no ownership record of any kind, not a grant, not a transfer, not an occupation.

What would settle it The Surveyor-General's diagram for the farm number names the grantee and the date; the deed reference on it opens the transfer chain.

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.
