My family history

 My  family history

By

Raja/P.R.Ramachander

Around  1860 , there  lived  two brothers called Subbaraman  and Vaitheeswaran in house  opposite  to Siva temple  in Vadakke  gramam in Puthucode(Their  father  was  one Rama Sastrigal  , who was  an astrologer) 

Subbaraman  married  a lady  called  Kamashi,They  had five daughters  viz  Kamakshmi , Narayani  , Remamani , Janaki, cheethu and one  son called  Raman (I do not know  about  Vaitheeswaran’s family   except that his grand son became  a captain in the army  and grand daughter  married  a cousin of my father  called  Raman Chithappa)

Raman  married   a lady  called  Parvathi(Athai of Visweswaran) of Placode,He was  my grand father

He  had three  sons (Raman, Raman  and Vaitheeswaran ) and three daughters (Kamakshi  , Janaki  and Cauvery).

After  subbaraman’s death  Raman put  mangalore  tiles  to his home.The Puthucode village caught fire.Having lost everything, Raman  settled  in Chelakkara

The anna raman and vaitheeswaran  died and The small Raman was  called Kunju Raman  by  our villagers

Kunju raman was  my father,His father  died when he  was 12 years  old .Kunju raman  went to work in hotel  and got married  to my mother  Abhirami.Kunjuraman had three  sisters  Kamakshi, Janaki  and Cauvery.

Kunjuraman  had two  sons, me and Kasi   and three  daughters. Out  of three  daughters  two  of them died when they were  babies ,and  only Thanka  is surviving

I got married  to Jayalakshmi  , Kasi to Annapurni  and Thanka  to Rathnagiri 

Me , Kasi  and thanka  have three  sons and  two  daughters-Ravi, Raghu, Ramesh , Meera  and Roopa

And all these  five people have   six  daughters and two sons .
