This website contains the largest
database of families hailing from Vangal village in Tamil
Nadu, India. It presents the data in a simple family
tree format where you can search for individuals or browse
the entire
lineage over ten generations. Originally the website contained
details of one Vaishnavite family. Now the details of
other Vaishnavite families/families of other communities
are included.
The data contained here
primarily resulted from the vast research undertaken by Sri
V.L. Vijayaraghavan (Chennai, India) over many months of
traveling and
painstaking compilation. During this time,
he traveled from Chennai to Trichy, Srirangam, Vangal,
Bangalore and Mumbai to meet dozens of families hailing from
the village. As it stands today, the website is in a
state of constant evolution with many more 'Vangalites'
getting in touch to have themselves included - needless to
say, this is now the primary means of getting much needed
background information as well as to expand the family tree
itself. If you have information that is not available
here, please contact me at vlv40@hotmail.com with the necessary
details.
All this would not have been possible
without the support of many individuals. A full list of
people associated with this undertaking is provided in the
Credits page.
We have
great pleasure in informing you that a charitable trust in the
name
of Vangal Heritage Trust has been
formed with 13 trustees on board. The maintenance of the
Vangal Heritage Website and other religious services like
donations to temples, Mutts etc, would be taken care by this
Trust. The Trust funds will also be utilised for other
services like helping needy persons for education, marriage,
hospitalisation, etc. If you are interested in
participating in this initiative, please send a mail to the
managing trustee Mr. Vijayaraghavan.
With the
initiative of the Trust and the active support of Vangalites
and friends, the ancestral temple of Lord Varadarajaswamy at
Vangal Agraharam was renovated and the Samprokshanam
(Kumbabishegam) was conducted on 22nd August`04. I would
be happy to see all Vangalites visit the temple and seek the
blessings of the Lord.

I hope that the temple will become a symbol of
the fraternal feeling of all Vangalites.
To facilitate communication among fellow
Vangalites and also share events, send invitations for any
occasions, etc..., we have set-up a mailing list in yahoo
groups for Vangal family members. One has to become a
member of the Vangal Yahoo groups to start communicating
amongst the Vangal Yahoo Group members.
You can join the yahoo group by keying in your email
address in the yahoo group subscription field at the bottom of
the homepage. You need not necessarily have to have
yahoo IDs and you can become a member of the Yahoo
groups-Vangal with non yahoo email IDs as
well.
