ship the 'Sion' which left Wielingen (the roadstead south of Vlissingen) on route
to Ceylon on 19th May 1699, arriving at Cape Town on 27th October 1699 (notes).

They are noted in the membership register of the church at Stellenbosch, the

Notes
SLABBER(T) - oorspronklik gespel SLABBAART en SLABBAERT - was 'n ou voornaam in Vlaandere en Zeeland. Dit kan ook op harringvissery betrekking hãe, want slabber is 'n ou naam vir haring.
Die egpaar bring uiteindelik 10 kinders in die lewe waarvan 5 van die kinders in Meliskerke op die eiland Walcheren in Zeeland gedoop word.
Die gesin SLABBERT kom in 1699 in Suid-Afrika aan, nadat Huibrecht nog op 11.1.1699 as doopgetuie by die doop van Pieter, seun van haar broer te Aagtekerke opgetree het en voordat hulle oudste dogterNeeltje op 21.11.1700 aan die Kaap in die huwelik tree met Robbert BRAND. Die presiese datum van aankoms asook die naam van die skip is nog onbekend. Om een of ander rede handig Floris eers op 22.12.1704 dus ongeveer 5 jaar na sy aankoms in die Kaap, sy attestaat in die Kaap in. Oor sy beroep is daar op daardie stadium maar weinig bekend. In Februarie 1716 onderteken Floris egter as vryburger en boer saam met ander boere 'n versoek aan die Kommissaris om die graanprys te verhoog. Volgens 'n aantekening woon Floris SLABBERT in 1713 "bij den Tijgersberg, vijf uren gaans van de Cab de Bon Esperance". Die plaas se naam was Conterman's Kloof en hy het die plaas in 1706 ontvang.

Stamvader.

Arriveer in 1699.

The children are given here in the order which seems logical. We lack baptismal

information only for Johanna and Jasper, but Johanna was married on 2nd April

1702 at Stellenbosch, and Jasper's first child was baptised 30th July 1713, so

that placing them second and third seems reasonable.

The Slabbert family travelled out from Vlissingen in Zeeland to the Cape on the

ship the 'Sion' which left Wielingen (the roadstead south of Vlissingen) on route

to Ceylon on 19th May 1699, arriving at Cape Town on 27th October 1699

They are noted in the membership register of the church at Stellenbosch, the

date being probably between 1698 and June 1700, and then on the 24th Dec.

1704, Floris presented his 'attestaat' to the church at Cape Town.

event of the death of his father-in-law that anything due to him and his wife,

they gave to his brother Jeremias Slabbert.

There will inevitably be errors and omissions and the whole purpose of creating this online record, is to invite feedback and corrections.
The data is specifically for non-commercial use and my clear intention is to build family records. The data may, therefore, not be used in any way for the purposes of financial gain.

Caveat:- Throughout the project UK GRO birth, marriage and death index data appears. The GRO data appears in Quarters. Q1 = January, February and March, Q2 = April, May, June , Q3 = July, August and September and Q4 = October, November and December. Similarly, Mar Q = January, February and March, Jun Q = April, May, June , Sep Q = July, August and September and Dec Q = October, November and December. Where these dates occur, they represent the date of Registration of the event rather than the date of the actual event. Logically, registration occurs AFTER the event. In some cases this may be days or months or even years after the event. The important thing is that the event was recorded and a copy of the document of registration could be obtained if necessary. This also applies to South African NAAIRS records.

Similarly, the UK system is confusing to the uninitiated because registration districts can span several counties. Accordingly GRO locations may not record the true location of the event. They do record where the record is actually kept or recorded.

Caveat #2:- I have used URL's throughout the website as sources. The URLs are often from paid subscription sites so you may not be able to access them without an account. Inevitably there are broken URL's. I have been to every URL recorded here and at the time they were operational. In this regard, the Ancestry24 records are a problem. There are numerous references in the South African data citing Ancestry24 records. Unfortunately Ancestry24 has closed down and these records are no longer available on line.

The early South African records on this site would not have been as good as they are without the work done by Delia Robertson. Where there are website addresses containing http://www.e-family.co.za... I record the citation should read Robertson, Delia. The First Fifty Years Project.
