Title: Link: Mauritius CGMR database
Post by: ShaunJ on Saturday 29 March 14 10:48 GMT (UK)
This excellent Mauritius database is in French and there are 3 ways to search it: direct search, advanced search, or Levenshtein search. The direct search is the easiest to use - just type a surname into the "Recherche directe" box one the left, and click on "chercher".

Why do they block me? If I understand correctly I'm not supposed to take more than a certain amount of info..? I have not taken anything yet - I am searching for the baptism of someone, and I am going church by church in the birth year parameters. It seems now I have to wait until 20 March before I can continue my browsing.
Thanks,
Leona

This will take you a lot longer to trawl though and you'll need to know the commune, year etc, but you might find something. I think it covers 1728-1811.

Île de France was a former name for Mauritius.

Thank you. I'll keep the link. I was looking for 1860's.
Is there a place one can find passenger lists for immigration to Durban, South Africa from Mauritius?

It will be in French, but if you find relevant names I’ll translate…
