-==Mauritius Emigration and Immigration==
-<span style="color:DarkViolet">'''"Emigration"''' means moving out of a country. '''"Immigration"''' means moving into a country. </span><br>
-Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country. These sources may be passenger lists, permissions to emigrate, or records of passports issued. The information in these records may include the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, destinations, and places of origin or birthplaces. Sometimes they also show family groups.

-==Historical Background==
-*The earliest confirmed discovery of Mauritius was in 1507 by '''Portuguese''' sailors, who otherwise took little interest in the islands.
-*The '''Dutch''' took possession in 1598, establishing a succession of short-lived settlements over a period of about 120 years, before abandoning their efforts in 1710.
-*'''France''' took control in 1715, renaming it '''Isle de France'''.
-*In 1810, the island was seized by '''Great Britain''', and four years later France ceded Mauritius and its dependencies to Britain.
-*Mauritius remained a primarily plantation-based colony of the '''United Kingdom''' until independence in 1968.<ref>"Mauritius", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritius, accessed 28 July 2021.</ref>
-==Emigration From Mauritius==
-The Mauritian diaspora consists of Mauritian emigrants and their descendants in various countries around the world, mainly '''Great Britain (United Kingdom), Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France and Ireland.'''<ref>"Mauritians", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritians, accessed 28 July2021.</ref>
