"Mysore Matthan" Community on Orkut

I was very pleasantly surprised to receive an email from Helena (Maria) Matthan, granddaughter of the late Kuriyan Matthan, one of my very best friends during my professional life in India, that she had started the "Mysore Matthan" Community on Orkut.

She wanted me to be the Moderator of this Community. I informed her that someone younger should have this responsibility, but I would certainly contribute to its development.

Mysore Matthan was also a Kuriyan Matthan, Dewann Bahadur and First member of the Council of Ministers of the Mysore Maharaja, and was the uncle of Helena's grandfather.

Mysore Matthan helped Kuriyan Matthan obtain his job in Mandya Sugars.

I have promised to recount the story of Helena's grandfather a long time ago,. One day i will keep that promise.

However, may I ask you to join the Dewan Bahadur Mysore Matthan Community on Orket.

Half done

I had been wanting to update the K. C. Mammen Mappillai



and the Dewan Bahadur Kuriyan Matthan



Web Pages for a long time.

Today, I managed to update the K. C. Mammen Mappillai page and added some new pictures of the family.

Like in the case of the Maliyakal web pages, I shall try to breakdown each family and put up relevant details with appropriate pictures.

I have not yet put up pictures on the Maliyakal pages, except on Dewan Bahadur's web page, but I will do that when I get some time.

Please submit any data and pictures you want to go up on your family tree unique page.

These are not a genealogy pages or sites but tributes to great men who taught me my fundamental values.
