Vosloo is a surname.
The Vosloo progenitor (Jan Vosloo) was born around 1649, a grandson of Johan Crantz (1575) from the farm Voßloh (Vossloh) in Westphalia, a region in northwestern-Germany.
Jan Vosloo (1649) joined the VOC in order to escape poverty that gripped Germany after the thirty year war.
Daniel Jacobs at the request of Ton Vosloo compiled a book in two parts to tell the story of the Vosloos.
