The Muster Rolls (monsterollen) were lists of the inhabitants at the Cape of Good Hope, drawn up separately for Company officials and Free persons, and dispatched to the Netherlands, where copies are preserved in the Ryksarchief, S'Gravenhage. 

What has been consulted here are the so called 'Verbatim Copies' kept in the Cape Archives, which are copies of those in the Ryksarchief.

Cape Archives VC39 and VC41

The Opgaaf (Tax) returns were lists of Free persons at the Cape with their belongings and their yearly produce, crops and animals, upon which their tax contribution was based. 

What has been consulted here is the computerised version of this information as produced at the University of the Western Cape.
