Navorsingsnotas

[FS, 5 Aug 2026] Son of Louis Daniel Francois van ZylM (PER-001385), who held Klipgat No. 114 to his death. Took KLIPGAT A, Portion 2 of Klipgat No. 114, on deed 8821 of 15 November 1916 - the deed immediately after his brother's. The deed as transcribed gives 'Jacobus J.P. van Zyl'; the full name and dates come from FamilySearch 2CY9-NVD. [TO VERIFY - deed 8821 would give the name in full]

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 1916 and never resumes second order · B2 trail-ends
Klipgat A (Klipgat Nr. 114 Gdlt 2) was worked as far as 1916-11-15, with Jacobus Johannes Petrus van ZylH the last owner on record. 110 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. The whole set is on the questions page.
