I have retired in Australia at 55 so that I can return to India and live and enjoy retirement in India as an OCI. Unfortunately the only proof I have of my Indian roots so far is my singapore birth certificate which identifies my parents as having been born in India. The indian consulate has rejected my application and asked me for certified copies of Indian birth certificates.
I would appreciate it if you could initially point out where and how I could obtain this information cost effectively. My ancestors details from my brother's history are:
1.1. Father born Maambaakkam in october 1906 Rajivaksha Kumara Sharma
1.2 Mother, Lalitha Devi born in 1917 in the village of Vengalaththuur, both in the district of North Arcot in Tamil Nadu.
2.1. Grandfather was Kuppuswami Iyer, also known as Mahesh Kumara Sharma.
Grandfather was a linguist, a man of learning and high morals. He was a vegetarian and teetotaler, and abhorred those who drank liquor. In that sense he was also a puritan, but sometimes mistaken for a snob.
He came to Singapore from Tamil Nadu, in 1914 with his second wife, Balasundari Devi, (not ancestor) and Father.
2.2. Grandfather had two wives, first Lakshmi.
grandmother Lakshmi was the daughter of
maternal great grandfather Ramaswamy Iyer, a prosperous jute sacks businessman.
2.1.1. Grandfather had three children by the first wife, Subbulakshmi, and one by the second wife, Balasundari Devi. His first three children were: Sambasivan (aka Nalinaksha Kumara Sharma), Lalitha and Ranga Bhattar (Rajivaksha Kumara Sharma-father). The Bengali name in brackets became the official names of the boys.
3.1. "Paternal Great Grandfather was Sambasiva Iyer.
paternal great grandmother was His wife, Yamuna.
His family came from the village of Maambaakkam in the district of North Arcot in Madras State, now known as Tamil Nadu (TN), in South India.
The family Gothram is Haritha and the Sutram is Aapasthampa.
I would hope that records should exist and be easily accessible for either of my parents and only if they are lacking would I need to obtain certified true copies of their ancestors. The information about all ancestors is provided so that it can be cross checked against each other to ensure that the right birth certificates have been obtained. i.e. My parents' birth certificates may be correctly identified by their parents' details on the certificates of the children.
if even 1 birth certificate is traceable and can be sent across it may suffice.
I am grateful for any help or advice you may offer. I will reimburse all reasonable costs.
