Wat ons nie weet nie

Nie een ouer is aangeteken nie, dus hang hierdie mens nie aan die boom bo hom of haar nie.

A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

Navorsingsnotas

[SRC-072] Farmed Botterkraal with his brother as Gebroeders Swanepoel, gave it up in 1931 and ran a cafe, bakery and boarding house in Market Street, Prince Albert. Died unmarried of heart failure at 44 - rheumatic fever as a child had damaged his heart. Buried on Botterkraal. His insolvent estate (MOOC 66870, 1939) is what forced the sale of the farm, and it contains the 1940 fencing affidavit that names every neighbour.

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

“Estate late P.J. Swanepoel” held ground next door and we have no tenure for them third order · B4 unheld-owner
A boundary description for Botterkraal (Jansenskraal Nr. 104 Gdlt 2) names Estate late P.J. Swanepoel, a surveyor stating on the record that this person held the adjoining ground. We do hold Swanepoel tenure elsewhere, but none on this boundary and none at this date.

What would settle it The diagram's own date fixes the window. The quitrent or erfpacht register for that year names the holder of the adjoining place, and an estate inventory will name the farm outright.

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.
