Our family story
Nalagarh, historically Hindur, is represented by a pedigree beginning with Gajeh Singh and Ram Saran Singh. The chart separates Ram Saran’s Bije, Fateh, Agar and Bir Singh branches, with the later ruling line under Agar Singh. This preserves a hill-state family that would otherwise be absent from a plains-only archive.

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.
Names and dates follow the period chart. Later children are omitted pending separate evidence of their vital status.
