How to use the Nepali last-name directory

Search spelling variants

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

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.
