Vanshavali (वंशावली) charts

A vanshavali (वंशावली) is a family's line written down, generation by generation. The charts here are published with each family's consent - click any person to open the next four generations from them.

The first charts are being prepared

Family trees appear here once a family submits its vanshavali and consents to publication. Yours can be among the first - the downloadable template is the easiest way to start.

How to record your own vanshavali

  1. 1Interview your elders. Sit with the oldest people in the family and work through the family interview sheet - names, villages, gotra, karm, and the stories behind them.
  2. 2Fill the vanshavali CSV template - one row per person: name, father, years, village, gotra, biswa, karm, gaddi.
  3. 3Upload it on the contribute page - the CSV, a GEDCOM export, the interview sheet, or a scanned vanshavali book all work.
  4. 4A person reviews it, and the chart is published here with your family's consent.

Every chart here is compiled from a family's own records and published with its consent; names of living people appear only where the family chose to include them. Corrections and removals: Contact. New here? The gaddi and biswa guide explains the fields these charts use.
