Verify with your elders

  • Was there a great-great-grandfather named Aganadam Pillay or Egambaran?
  • Did family ever mention coming from Dr.Samy Naiken St, Flowers Rd, Flowers Rd, Madras?
  • Do the dates line up with when your family arrived in Natal? (Record: 1896)
  • Any family memory of a ship named UMLAZI II, or a passage to Natal around then?

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

Aganadam Pillay 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.
