| This site is for all members of the Kumbanad
Family. All those who can trace their ancestry to Easow
Panicker, the founding father of the family are entitled
to enroll in it. |
| The Kumbanad Family consists of 8 generations.
Up to the fifth generation, most of the members lived at
Kumbanad. The 6th generation mostly grew up there.
Therefore, they had the opportunity to know each other and
trace their lineage. With the 7th generation, however, the
fulcrum shifted out of Kumbanad into the Diaspora outside
Kerala. |
| This generation does
not know much about their heritage, nor do they know each other. A recent visit to
North America convinced me that they value their roots and
would like to keep in touch. This prompted me to establish
this site. |
 |
The objective is to provide a forum for
interaction among members with a common ancestry. The
advantage of the internet is that it can create a virtual
community for purely voluntary interaction. There is no
parental compulsion. |
| The heart of this site is the Family Tree,
which is envisaged to grow dynamically. A skeleton is
provided as a starting point. This extends up to the fifth
generation. |
|
| Those who wish to enroll are requested to fill
up a proforma, which is available online [click enroll].
Please fill it up and submit it, so that your name can go
directly to the right spot. |
| Members are encouraged to interact with each
other. You can use the search facility to locate a
particular family member or to find a group to be part of.
We hope to provide news, particularly about births,
marriages and deaths. You can also browse through a brief
history of the family. |
| This site is dedicated to you. |
