Dear All
I am forwarding this letter with the hope and belief of getting your support for the cause of compilation of comprehensive directory of the Rulers of orissa and vassals in allegiance to British/ Indian Princely States e. g. Zamindars , by whatever name called in different parts of Orissa.
This is aimed to encompass the basic data of the State/ Estate (like situation, extent, population, revenue, major achievements, palaces & forts, etc.), a concise history of its establishment and development, present encumbents and their clan affiliations and relations.
This in turn requires the compilation of list, history and genealogical tables of Rulers/ Jagirdars from the respective Princely States, Land Revenue Records and enactments like Oudh Estate Act 1869, etc.
I am in a process to approach all leading members of different raja/zamindhar families to provide me with this information.
I am seeking your help to get me as many details/ contact information in respect of above Raja/zamindhar families either by providing me the proper links of the families or referring to the records.
