My cousins and I spent a day drawing up our family tree after my grandad died as we were all feeling rather down and uncle came up with the idea to cheer us up. Within 2 generations we ran out of all the chart paper at home- That's how big a family we are. But I remember thoroughly enjoying myself- I know why your husband is hooked :)Sound Horn Pleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379641453411859919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286717835195834907.post-16610014570437724702011-05-29T22:54:29.323-07:002011-05-29T22:54:29.323-07:00The family photograph is what brought me here too....The family photograph is what brought me here too...Love this post esp coz I have always wanted to do the same...but ne'er get enuf details. When my granpa was alive, I was behind him asking queries but I was not keen on noting them down as I was just 12-13 at that time.

An uncle of my father did a version, and my spanish father in law has another. The cool thing about the spanish family is that once every 2 years the entire family meets up... about 200+ people!<br />If you publish that excel, I am sure half the tambrahm readers of your blog will share an ancestor with you :)<br />SangAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286717835195834907.post-46311048673066002522011-05-22T14:11:56.395-07:002011-05-22T14:11:56.395-07:00Hi Kamini

Then I frantically called my uncles and aunts, grand pa's and grandmoms to get some info. But I have to admit - I passed on that information to her and lived happily ever after. But true in the west you find softwares that can help you track your family tree and they also have good records in the churches. I think if we loose this generation of 70+ people in our part of the world - then this info is forever lost. Good job. Hope more will get inspired to secure their famnily tree's.Shanthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746235149162654688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286717835195834907.post-80625657304193490032011-05-21T10:13:49.311-07:002011-05-21T10:13:49.311-07:00Oh this is such a heartfelt post...love it.

(My marriage was planned out on an excel spreadsheet and he now keeps tabs on the workhours and salaries of the help(which they have taken on only now, for the first time in their 70+ years of life) on spreadsheets...)<br /><br />Maybe I should mention this project to them, I'm sure daddy will take to it like a duck to water!<br /><br />Sorry for the long comment.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09663791299848516601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286717835195834907.post-83915635214687385082011-05-21T06:16:20.628-07:002011-05-21T06:16:20.628-07:00How very interesting!How very interesting!Neha@ All things beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310023961976164079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286717835195834907.post-73656152335824055232011-05-21T05:57:39.895-07:002011-05-21T05:57:39.895-07:00Oh my gosh..
