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.

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.
• 3 other people in this model carry the same name. Never match on a name alone.

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

Navorsingsnotas

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

• 23 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow second order · B1 succession

  On Botterkraal (Jansenskraal Nr. 104 Gdlt 2), P.H. du PlessisM is the last owner recorded from 1896-10-08, and the next entry is Christiaan Hendrik SwanepoelM (b6c5d7e3f7) and Pieter Johannes SwanepoelL (b6c5d7e16f1) from 1919-01-23, 23 years later, with no person in common. DOC-0056 records the later arrival but not the 23 years before it.

  What would settle it The Deeds Office transfer register for this farm between 1896 and 1919. 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.
