We are originally from Punjab, India. My late Grandfather Hari
Singh and Late Grandmother Parsini were from a small village near
Nakodar called Gandharan. Grandfather served for the British
army in the 2nd world war. My grandmother was very much liked
by all the locals because she was polite and kind-hearted and
never let anyone go from our house empty handed.
My father studied to become a teacher and came to England
in late 50’s to study at Oxford, later went to Kenya to teach
and has been teaching there since till his retirement. He taught
in a number of Schools in Nairobi, Nakuru, Eldoret and Kericho
where he spent most of his teaching career
I am proud
to have drawn this family tree because so far only we have a tree
of so many names and have actually made an effort to draw it
I have taken a picture of the tree that I have drawn, the picture
gives you an idea of how big the tree is and the rectangle in
red is where I am, unfortunately
this tree contains only boys as gathering all names including
ladies was a mission and I couldn’t get this info fully, so decided
not to add those.
When I visited India I managed to get names of cousins that my
Grandmother told me and drew a family tree. I drew the tree as
shown below.
