Introduction to Website

Hi,

I am Sabu (Cherian George) , son of Georgekutty (P.C.George) and Ammini of  Puthenpurackal branch (Manimalaparambil sub-branch). Hope you can identify me immediately – no IDCard for proof.

I have been entrusted by our family  members to make a  web site with focus on  the  genealogy  aspect among other matters. Before embarking on this project, I did not fully realize ours was such a big family having  many  and varied branches and sub branches.  In olden  days,  all  legal documents,  especially matters  concerning  properties, were written  in  vernacular  languages  and  the method  adopted   for identifying people were to narrate one’s age, father’s name, family name with branch name, occupation and place or locality. That’s it.  Your KYC is done, and it  is fool  proof.  Because,  people talked  to  each other and  knew their  neighbors  and  they  had  permanent residence locally.  Today  it  is different for varied reasons.   But  for relatives,  sitting in different parts of the globe,  the traditional methods  work better to spot a relative. So,  we  have  made  a  genealogy profile of  almost  all  our  members  with  the present generation number given along the name of every male member in bracket. Every male member can know his  generation  by  spotting  his name  in the  list.   Another  advantage  is for others  to check whether a person is indeed from our family which is so important today. 

A dedicated web site of the family was a wish for almost all our members. A  few  of  our members came forward to chalk out the process and contributed to the initial expenses.  A  committee  approved by the kudumbayogam  general  body  was also formed to periodically monitor and access the  progress of this work. We had some meetings in the past one year. The content appearing in these pages has been seen, verified and approved by the committee. 

We are going live now with the minimum content to get feed back from all of you. This is a beta version to get suggestions and enable correction of mistakes which can be accepted for the next six months and thereafter to update it periodically without disturbing the site frequently. An email address is provided outside the website for every member to write to us of their suggestions and point out mistakes. As we go forward, it is my hope that the website itself will get modified to suit  our  requirements and  get the best of the emerging technologies. 

Thank you for your attention and wish you all  happiness, peace and  prosperity.  May  God  bless  our family.

Regards,
