Fotedar Tree Branches
NOTE: If
you belong to a Fotedar family and do not see your
part of the tree, please come forward and
contribute. Consult your elders who keep track of
the relatives, and send me your part of the tree
as an attachment in MS word format to my e-mail
address sunilfotedar@yahoo.com
. My ultimate goal is to connect all these
branches into one full tree.
