Knowing one's past is a thrilling experience that connects us to the generations who paved our way. Driven by a strong desire to uncover my roots, I collaborated with my uncle, Rev. Fr. Stephen Gaspar, to trace our lineage. By combining his remarkable memory and strenuous research during the 2020 lockdown with my technical assistance, we successfully mapped our history back to the sixth generation. Explore 'The Family Tree of Pattaiyathar,' a labor of love proudly launched in honor of my uncle's Ruby Jubilee of priesthood. Step into our shared family heritage.
Malayadipatty is not just a place; it is the very soil where I was born and raised. Realizing that the proud 350-year history of my native village was at risk of being forgotten, I felt a deep duty to preserve it for the next generation. During the 2020 lockdown, I dedicated my time to building this comprehensive digital archive. Tracing our roots from the early missionaries of the 1660s to our present-day heritage, this extensive historical record is a labor of love, proudly launched on the day of my Diaconate ordination.
