About this data

This database is compiled from historical registers from just before and after the 1863 emancipation. For each plantation we recorded the owners, location, and the family names registered there. Many Surinamese surnames trace back to this period. These records are a starting point for genealogical research — for in-depth confirmation we recommend the National Archives of Suriname and the National Archives of the Netherlands.
