Welcome To KelkarKulvruttanta .com

 

We are very happy to present to you, on the Net, the 2^nd Edition of Kelkar Kulvruttanta, a Genealogical account of Kelkar’s.

We can proudly say that, to the best of our knowledge, this happens to be one of the early Genealogical Studies of an Indian Family with the same surname, to be put on  Internet. We also believe that this probably is the first ever study of its kind on the NET, in an Indian language. 

A genealogical study of a family is but one chapter in the history of the country it comes from & history is important, not only for the events to be proud of, but also for those to be sorry for. It is important for us to know what our forefathers were, but equally important for us, to hand down to the generations to come, information about their forefathers.  That is why, 41 years after the first edition ( published in 1952 ) Bhaskar S. Kelkar, Govind R. Kelkar and Yashwant S. Kelkar, undertook the work of 2^nd edition.And now almost 10 years after the publication of its printed edition,( in 1993 ) we are coming to you, in this modern form of communication, to reach you wherever you are, all around the world

              At present we have put the data from 1993 edition in the tree form, through the link Gharani. Soon we plan to incorporate, online updating facility, for the convenience of all the Kelkars around the world. Internet version is only in a brief form, representative of what it is in print. Soon we are planning to make the entire Kulvruttanta,  available on a CD.

We are presenting this account to you, not just for your information, but also with a hope, that you will come back to us with an updated account of your own branch of the Kelkars (Or a fresh account, if you are not already in the book) and also pass on this message to others, in case they miss out on it.  Your criticism on our efforts and suggestions for any improvements, are most welcome.
