The origin village

Munisamy Nd’s family came from Vadokuppam, North Arcot district. Living relatives may still be there — a voter-roll lookup can name them, and the modern village page shows land records and families we already track.

Verify with your elders

Colonial ship-clerks often mangled Tamil names. Before treating this as your ancestor, ask the oldest person in your family:

  • Was there a great-great-grandfather named Munisamy Nd or Venkatarama Nd?
  • Did family ever mention coming from Vadokuppam, North Arcot?
  • Do the dates line up with when your family arrived in Natal? (Record: 1888)
  • Any family memory of a ship named UMZINTO LIII, or a passage to Natal around then?

Privacy — no living person’s details are ever shown in public

Munisamy Nd appears here only because this is a historical indenture record (1860–1911) — the person named sailed over a century ago. Family trees, voter matches and any living-relative data sit behind a login and are visible only to the account owner they belong to.
