    Thanks for your response. I am planning to visit Vellore, India soon to find my roots. I am hoping to get as much information as possible before I leave. My father left a family of (5) brothers and (2) sisters when he left India, in 1916. I am sure there maybe descendants living in that location or nearby. How can I trace them via public records that maybe still available.
    Thanks. Bishnu.

    Attachment 2139Attachment 2140Attachment 2141Attachment 2142Attachment 2143Good day. I recenting found a very old document 'Pass to indians'. This was granted to indians who where born in Natal (Durban) but wanted to travel to Transvaal (Johannesburg). It was for my Grand mother when she married my grand father and to bring her home to tranvaal he had to apply for a 'pass'. On this document was the names of her parents and the indentured numbers of their parents. I now have now have the names of these indentured indians who are part of my lineage. I would like to find more information about them. See attached files...6901,6902,6903 came together as a family baby girl just a year old. 6944 came the same year as 6901-3. 10601 came the year later. Can anyone help me trace them back to india?
