A little bit about my life.....
My First Communion, Kanjirappally (Photo)
Photo: A moment in College Life
I am the author of this website, 'the Padannamakkel family history'. I became interested in Genealogy after losing my mother and father.
I have two children - daughter and son; both are grown.
(a) Dr. Sajel (Jiji) Joseph (daughter).
She is a graduate of Ursline High School, New Rochelle, New York. She later received her MBBS degree from Sri DevRaj Urs Medical College, Bangalore University, India.
(b) Dr.Jijoe Joseph (son) is a graduate of Iona Prep. New Rochelle, New York. He received his MD degree from the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland.
We were four brothers and one sister. Chackochan was the eldest brother, and I was next in line. Although his birth was a blessing, he came into this world following a terrible tragedy--the death of our older sister, Gracy. Unfortunately, Chackochan also arrived during the most humanly trying of times, [d]epression times. A plantation manager in Pallivasal and Kothamangalam, my poor father was finding it horrendously difficult merely to survive. Typhoid was mercilessly wiping out many people in and around his region . And it was the terrible typhoid that took Gracy at the tender age of three. My parents were devastated after Gracy's passing, and not surprisingly it wasn't long after Chackochan's birth that our father resigned his job due to health reasons and moved us to Kanjirappally.
I was born and raised within the boundaries of Kanjirappally. Around 1948 my parents P.C. Mathew and Annamma bought a house in Pulimakkel, Kanjirappally which is where I spent my formative years. I grew up and spent a happy childhood in lovely Kanjirappally for 15 years. I attended schools in Kanjirappally, at St. Dominic's School, Government High School, and in Vazhoor at SVRV (NSS)High School Following after graduating from SVRV High School, Vazhoor, I attended Pre-University at Devagiri College, Calicut, B.com at Trivandrum, and Masters at Aligarh Muslim University . I spent two years at the prestigious Aligarh Muslim University where I began in the Master of Commerce. I received my M.Com degree in Sept. of 1968. I began working in St. Aloysious college, Elthuruthu, Thrissur and many tutorial colleges in Ernakulam, and Palai. In the December of 1973, I married Rosakutty, Vettathu, daughter of Mr. George Vettathu, Moonnilavu, and Mary Kappil. Later our marriage, we migrated to New Rochelle, New York in 1973 and here and now, I am a language specialist in South Indian [B]ooks and cataloger in New York Public Library.I have lived most of my life in New Rochelle, USA had the same address since 1974. I layout a great deal of time in view of the fact that of my ancestors. I derive joy from spending time in the company of my family and friends, researching my family history, a never ending quest. I began my research a two years ago and have been motivated ever since.
I have already succeeded an authentic research beginning with my ancestors. On my fathers side, I have found positively many documentation. I have only a short while ago initiated the search in contact with my mother's ancestors for that reason my information does not go back that far.
In February of 1994, my mother had died. I realized after her death that I knew next to nothing about her ancestors, and I did not want my children to face the same thing upon my death. I decided that I would update the information in the web site and preserve the information for my children.
My home page is dedicated to our family history. It is my inheritance for all of my family to derive joy from! Now when my children's children, nieces, nephews and future generations ask questions in regard to their ancestry, they will have more answers than I did.
There could possibly be errors in some files, but I have done my best to be as accurate as possible. I gladly take corrections from family members if any one has more information to submit to this very large family.
