Source-attributed historical collection. Rulership and succession do not establish parentage.
Our family story
Kapurthala grew from the Ahluwalia chiefship associated with Jassa Singh. The later royal line is shown separately from the founder where direct parentage is not established. Share archival letters and memories to enrich this history.

Source and relationship notes
Jassa Singh is not made the father of Bhag Singh: succession is not parentage. Fateh Singh’s conflicting death year is omitted. The directory’s Jasjit/Nihal link is withheld because its chronology is inconsistent. This is a selected historical branch, not a complete pedigree. Living and uncertain later branches await review.
Family hierarchy
Open a branch to explore descendants. Each person appears under their first recorded parent; spouses without recorded parents appear beside their partner. Both parents and adoption notes appear in the profiles below.
