Introduction[edit | edit source]
Some of the earliest Chinese in Mauritius arrived from Sumatra in the 1740s. In the 1780s, thousands more migrant went to Port Louise from Guangzhou. The earliest migrants were mostly Cantonese speaking. Later, Hakka speakers came.
Chinese Voluntary Associations[edit | edit source]
Research use: Each source provides Chinese characters for names of people and places necessary for extension of pedigree to Chinese homeland.
Record type: A membership record.
Time period:1850 to present.
Contents: Family history, memorabilia; membership applications, registers, deceased member registers, marriage registers, burial registers, ancestral tablet registers, genealogies. All the items mentioned are either bilingual or in Chinese characters.
Location: Voluntary associations in major population centers throughout the islands and private collections of a few researchers.
Population coverage: Less than 5%. Still a considerable number of people due to population density. The same rationale applies here as to the Chinese genealogies.
Reliability: Secondary source.[1]
