Welcome

This is a site for British genealogists interested in South America.
I started to record data from the Roots South America emigration mailing list in November 1998.

The site is currently under reconstruction. Until I have had time to check through the whole site some links may not work.

Initially, I only had 500 names. I now have a database of 26,000 people all of whom have spent part of their lives in South America.

Think of this site as your own. The BiSA database can only be of use if you are able to share your data with others.

If you would like to contribute data then I am more than happy to include an appropriate credit.

I am always pleased to receive information on Brits who have emigrated to South America and will include your data on my next update.
I keep more information on most of the data in my files. On request, I can usually provide the original E-mail which initiated the data entry.
