Wat ons nie weet nie
- Geen geboortedatum is aangeteken nie.
- Geen sterfdatum is aangeteken nie.
- Nie een ouer is aangeteken nie, dus hang hierdie mens nie aan die boom bo hom of haar nie.
- Geen gedateerde rekord bind hierdie mens aan 'n bepaalde stuk grond nie.
- Niks gedateerds is hoegenaamd oor hulle aangeteken nie; hulle is hier omdat 'n ander rekord hulle noem.
A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.
Navorsingsnotas
[SRC-068] Cape Town engineer; wrote "The Prince Albert Goldfields" (Juta, 1891), acquired an interest in Spreeuwfontein, sold mining and camping gear, and planned a town he hoped to call GILLETVILLE. Later wrote pro-British Anglo-Boer War propaganda.
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.
