George is recorded as emancipated under the surname Sloot. The database lists him as a farmer, identifies Anna Michij as his mother, and names David Capriles Jr. as the former enslaver. This entry places a working adult and a maternal link in a register that otherwise often centers the claims of owners. The database dates this emancipation to 1 July 1863.

Uitleg
Maternal information appears in many entries, though it does not give a complete family history.
