Armuga Moodly

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 Armuga Moodly or Kandasamy Moodly?
- Did family ever mention coming from Avarakarai, North Arcot?
- Do the dates line up with when your family arrived in Natal? (Record: 1881)
- Any family memory of a ship named UMZINTO XLV, or a passage to Natal around then?

Armuga Moodly 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.
