Interview with the Son of a Girmitiya | Kavanagasau | Fiji | How to Search for an Emigration Pass

Описание к видео Interview with the Son of a Girmitiya | Kavanagasau | Fiji | How to Search for an Emigration Pass

Majority of Girmitiya descendants in Fiji are of the 4th and 5th generation. There are some 3rd generation descendants but not many are left. We were fortunate to get in touch with the son of a Girmitiya who was sent to Fiji in 1911 and who worked his girmit in Kavanagasau, Sigatoka. The son's name is Sita Ram and he is 94 years old, still fit to work in his farm.

The video also includes a section on "how to search for the Emigration Pass" and a visit to the National Archives of Fiji to check the General Register which includes information on their employer, the estate or location the immigrants were sent to for their Girmit, their marriage during the indenture, and repatriation and death records.
