Source and relationship notes
Selected historical branches transcribed from the 1940 government pedigree appendix. Parent links mean recorded in this source, not independently proven biological descent. Spelling variants are retained in notes. Gaps are left open; succession alone is not parentage. Recent descendants, current locations, contact details and schooling require further sources and consent. Legendary remote origins are not entered as established ancestry.
Only one clear branch is entered. The upper chart links Kapur Singh and Khushal Singh, but whether that connector is biological or adoptive needs corroboration, so it is not entered here.
Family hierarchy
Open a branch to explore descendants. Each person appears under their first recorded parent; both parents, spouses and adoption notes appear in the profiles below.
