My Full Name is : Prashant Pravin Shah
My Extended Full Name is : Prashant Pravin Velji Kanji Palan Shah
Velji is of course my grandfather and Kanji my great-grandfather and Palan my great-great-grandfather. I have met only my grandfather and hence this information beyond grandfather comes to me from my dad.
In Naredi village in Kutch, there is a family tree given which goes back several generations. If we go by that tree then my full name is :
“Prashant Pravin Velji Kanji Palan Kheraj Varjang Vajaa Bhojo Kelan Khetal Kanal Punshi Hema Veera Dhara Vershi Sarang Bhima ” Shah
Wow !! Whew !! 🙂
My real surname is “Nagda” Of Course.
What is your extended full name? Pick one of your father or mother and then go on traversing behind keeping the same gender.
Woah! you have about 17 generations on the top of you head..
I am from Bhujpur.. I’ll have to check my family tree but i remember this lineage (7 generations):
“Hardik Anil Shantilal Velji Tejpar Vidhu Haldor Chheda”

Here is the family tree of Nagdas. I don’t know whether one can really go back 17 generations. I am confused whether the people listed in the trunk form a father-son hierarchy. If we disregard the people in the trunk and start from the branches then I have a 9 generation known lineage.
“Prashant Pravin Velji Kanji Palan Kheraj Varjang Vajaa Bhojo” Nagda
There is a “bhatt-ji” designate for a “sur-name” who records all the new borns in the family and also carries a list of all your previous generations long before ancestry.com was invented :). I had met our “bhat-ji” when we added Arya’s name to his list. I need to track him down to get the family tree 🙂 BTW – The “bhatt-ji”‘s information is not available online and is only in the book which is closely guarded and is expensive to get and add information to it…:) 🙂
My dad has it for Gada’s. Let me see if I can get a soft copy ( a long pedig ask from Jatin).. hope he does not read this ….
We have it too for Gada’s, it goes up to 7 or 9 generations. One observation from that – it does not list female names for all generations, but just males. Hiten – would be interesting to compare ours, Jatin’s and yours, will help to know if any of the forefathers are same 🙂
Yup. Females not being listed in the tree is a real bummer.
In this post we have tried to be gender neutral and asked for your ancestry either by listing mother’s mothers or father’s fathers.
Sadly although this is a post that everyone can contribute to, besides Hardik no one else has really given their lineage.
Arey Prashant – lineage yaad thodi hai 🙂
Anyways here it goes for Gada’s –
Panchariya Gada –>Tejshi –> Ladha –>Dharshi –>Kachra –>Rayshi –>Kunverji –> Nayan –> Jayesh –> Jash
