Navorsingsnotas

[SRC-093] AN ENSLAVED MAN, listed in the 1802 estate of Jacobus Oosthuysen d'oude between the plough and the sheep: "een oude slaave jonge, gen:d Anthony van de KaapH". Recorded here as a person, not an inventory line, because he was one. "Van de Kaap" means Cape-born rather than imported, so he was born into slavery in this colony; "oude" means he was old in 1802, so probably born in the 1740s or earlier. NO AGE, NO VALUE AND NO RELATIONSHIP ARE RECORDED - that is the whole of what the archive kept. His name survives only because an estate had to be counted.

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.
