Ander van dieselfde naam

Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.

Navorsingsnotas

Granted Rondabel on perpetual quitrent with S.J. Theron, 21 Jan 1868.

29 Jul 2026: ALMOST CERTAINLY THE SAME MAN AS PER-000003, Frans's direct ancestor Johannes (Jan) Adriaan OosthuizenM (1816-1882). His co-grantee S.J. Theron (PER-000047) married his sister in 1851 [SRC-073]. Kept as a separate id until the 1868 deed is read; merge then.

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.

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.

Wat die rekord kortkom

27 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow second order · B1 succession
On Rondabel, David Jan StrydomM (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. The whole set is on the questions page.
