    No, slave is not a prefix. The field help is clear on this: Type prefixes, such as "Mrs," "Mr," "M," "Dlle" (Demoiselle/young lady), "Mme" (Madame/wife), or "Mlle" (Mademoiselle/young lady), as they were written.

    Looks like the indexer didn't read the field helps on birthplace either to learn that native does not identify birthplace in this project. 😥
