In several cases present day decedents are now Sikhs and many maybe Muslims or even Christians. It is not uncommon for one to find details of up to, or even more than, ones seven past generations in these genealogy registers kept by the Pandas of Haridwar.<br><br> For centuries when Hindu ancestors visited the holy town of Haridwar for any purpose which may have mostly been for pilgrimage purposes or/and for cremation of their dead or for immersion of ashes and bones of their kin after cremation into the waters of the holy river Ganga as required by Hindu religious custom, it has been an ancient custom to go to the Pandit who is in charge of ones family register and update the family's genealogical family tree with details of all marriages, births and deaths from ones extended joint family.<br><br> <img src=pics/temple_haridwar.jpg alt=Brahma_Kund_Har_ki_Pauri_Haridwar align=left> In present day India people visiting Haridwar are dumbfounded when Pundits out of the blue solicit them to come and update their very own ancestral genealogical family tree, news travels like wildfire among the Pandits with ones family's designated Pandit being quickly notified of ones visit. Nowadays with Hindu joint family system having broken down with people preferring more nuclear families, record keeping Pandits prefer visitors to Haridwar to come prepared after getting in touch with all of ones extended family and bringing all relevant details regarding ones ancestral district and village, names of grand parents and great grand parents and marriages, births and deaths that have occurred in the extended family, even with as much details as possible of the families married into. A visiting family member is required to personally sign the family genealogical register furnished by ones Family Panda after updating it for future family visitors and generations to see and to authenticate the updated entries, friends and other family members accompanying on the visit may also be requested to sign as witnesses.<br><br> For more information you can contact Shri Ganga Sabha in Haridwar at the following numbers: - +91 1334 227136, 227928 or you can contact Sewa Samiti at the following numbers: - +91 1334 227052, 225294, 224463.<br><br> Hindu Genealogy Registers at Haridwar, Hindu Genealogy, Genealogy Registers at Haridwar, Genealogy Haridwar, Genealogy India, Genealogy Haridwar India </p> </td></tr> </table> <td valign=top align=right> <table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5 class=mainmenu align=right> <tr><td><a href=astro.htm class=menulink>Homepage</a> <tr><td><a href=indian_vedic_astrologer_jyotishi.htm class=menulink>Astrologer: Dr. A.S.
