#FridayFinds Did you know that with a bit of research, you can trace your family’s history using records here at The National Archives of Trinidad & Tobago!

In honour of #IndianArrivalDay2026, we’re sharing a few examples of the different types of Indian indentureship records that are kept here at the National Archives.

This year marks the 181st anniversary of the arrival of the first 225 Indian indentured labourers aboard the Futtle Rozack (popularly called the “Fatel Razack”), which docked in the Port of Spain harbour on May 30th 1845. This system lasted until January 1st 1917, bringing around 147,000 Indians to Trinidad over a 70-year period. The majority settled here, bringing India to the Caribbean and enriching our multicultural society.

Photo 2 shows a duplicate copy of a Certificate of Exemption from Labour from 1940, which is a sample of what was issued to immigrants once their indentureship period had been successfully completed, freeing them from their contracts.
Photo 3 shows an excerpt from the 1901 Register of Returning Immigrants, which listed the Indian indentured immigrants who chose to return to India at the end of their indentureship period.

Photo 4 shows an excerpt from the 1861 Macoya Estate Register, which included the names and personal information of immigrants located on a particular estate, as well as the amount of money paid to them, and if they returned to India.

Photo 5 shows an example of a Marriage Declaration Form from 1890, which recorded the marriages of Indian indentured immigrants that took place before their arrival in Trinidad.

Photo 6 shows a page from the General Register of the last ship that came to Trinidad, the “Ganges” in 1917. These registers recorded the arrival of immigrants from India, and the plantations to which they were allotted.
