Navorsingsnotas
[31 Jul 2026 inbox] Took transfer of Windwaai (PAR-000090) on deed 5651 of 7 September 1933 (DOC-0121).
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 1933 and never resumes
third order · B2 trail-ends
Windwaai (Klein Valie Nr. 182 Gdlt 9) was worked as far as 1933-09-07, with S.C. SooymanH (Windwaai, 1933) the last owner on record. 93 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.
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.
