Hello Terri,
welcome to the Mauritius Forum of Isla-Mauricia.
It can be thus sometimes difficult to trace back ancestors when coming from Mauritius as there are so many communities and also many have no trace back or document proofs left, the only thing that might help then is the Surname...
I was wondering that maybe this website might be some help for you:
Aapravasi Ghat World Heritage Center Mauritius
On the website it says:

The Aapravasi Ghat Trust Fund was set up in 2001 under the aegis of the Ministry of Arts and Culture of the Republic of Mauritius. The trust has as objective to carry out research on Indenture Immigration and preserve and restore sites related to Indenture Immigration.

Back then when I was a fellow scholar, we learnt about the Aapravasi Ghat at school, that this was the place where most of the Indian Immigrants had to go through before then starting their new life in Mauritius.
I hope this link might be some help. Would be interested to hear if you got further in your research.
