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

• The record stops in 1939 and never resumes third order · B2 trail-ends

  Klipfontein A Nr. 174 was worked as far as 1939-08-29, with Bernardus Lambertus SteylH and G.M. SteylM (born Alberts) the last owner on record. 87 years follow with nothing. Who held it after that, and is it still one farm?

  What would settle it The current title deed traced backwards, each transfer names the one before it, or the Surveyor-General's subdivision diagrams, which are what usually explain a farm going quiet.
