It is very important to have family name together with the first name. Family name may be not well known. But to be known easily is the family name tracking method. For example my family name is Srampical. Even though some people use different spelling, it will however pin point to same township of origin. Arakkal, Eresseryil, Arattukulam, Kurisinkal, Koilparambil, Pollayil, Kocheekaranveetil, Karumanchery, Azheekal, Panakkal, Panikkaveettil, Parayakattil, are very much inter related families to Srampical. My for fathers nearly 7 generations before me came from Muttar, of Kuttanad Alappuzha. Family members live in Pulinkunnu, Changanassery, Pala, Kochi, Ernakulam. I was born at Pallithode, a small beach village of Cherthala talk, nearly 12 KM north of Arthinkal, and 4 KM west of Thuravoor.
