Try both English and Nepali spellings. A family's spelling may have changed between handwritten records, citizenship documents and migration records.

Follow connected evidence

Open a surname to review community classifications, gotra links and place associations. These are research leads rather than proof of identity.

Verify your family branch

Compare people, dates, relationships, places and original sources. Families sharing a surname are not necessarily related and may belong to different communities.
