Dear Shyam,
No words to express except to say Thanks a million for all your efforts in compiling the History in brief for anyone to know and understand about JS house & members of SNP. Great Job. Kindly include the photo which you renovated recently, that is the part of SNP family members.
With best wishes,
Natarajan Ramadurai.
Shyam, The pictures reflect years gone bye. They leave mixed emotions of happiness at sight and sadness at heart. On the picture taken at Ooty I am e-mailing late Kalidasa Iyer's son Sri T K Sethuraman aka Sethu, requesting him to identify the subjects, particularly those sitting and one on the extreme left standing who I think was late TK tarajan, Shri Sethuraman's elder brother. The
chldren on the floor, I think L to R it may be Meenakshi aka Pattu, T M Naganathan, Nagalakshmi aka Kuruvi, T M Venkatraman aka Tucker, all progenies of late T N Muthuswamy Iyer. Shri Sethuraman, can surely help us and can get confirmation from Shri Naganathan or Shri Venkatraman, or his elder sisterss.
I am requesing Shri T K Sethuramn to access your blog so that his comments and inputs can provide current and future generations their ancestry. I am avoiding use of the word "link" as after Darwin, it has acquired meaning less complementary to mankind!
What a treasure trove of pictures this is! I'm just beginning the process of scanning in several albums' worth of family photographs, so your post was a real find for me. Thank you.
