About the Maske surname
HamroBansa's source catalog records Maske with Newar-Kshatriya community classification. A catalog classification is a research lead: the same surname can be used by families with different identities, histories and local traditions.
Recorded lineage and gotra context
The source preserves Shrestha-Sheshya as lineage detail. These notes apply to particular family branches and should be checked against family records.
Researching the Maske family line
Begin with names and spelling variants used in citizenship papers, birth or marriage records, land documents and family registers. Then compare places, dates, oral histories and gotra or clan traditions. A surname by itself does not establish caste, community, ancestry or a relationship between two families.
