I
just wanted to talk to you a little about my feelings toward this
page. I know that it is not the world's best webpage, but it concerns
my family. In this modern world we hardly have time to spend with
our relatives. The max we do is take our own family out on a weekend.
My experience - I have contacts only with my first level relatives
(my mother and father's immediate relatives. I know there are
many more in the list. At this rate my children are going to miss
my entire set of relatives. I have heard from my grandpa about
the joint family culture earlier. With all the little problems,
life used to be full of fun with relatives. What I am saying nowadays
is completely different. I understand joint family system is not
all that possible now but keeping in touch with relatives is not
a problem at all. Each person has his family and is least bothered
or not interested in networking with other relatives. I am planning
to trace my family's history and will be sharing it with my friends
and relatives. I know that everyone does not have access to the
Internet, but this is the fastest and most economical way of publishing
my work. So here is an effort from myside. I am planning to work
on the following:
The
possible next question is usually why I am doing all this?
The
answer is "I like it, that's why". I enjoy learning
about my family and finding new relatives. It's like a jigsaw
puzzle. The pieces are there, you just have to piece them together.
This is just an effort.
