Who is included in our data base?
Our
primary database includes all persons (male and female)
who belong to the Extended
Dashora (Brahmin) Community.
A person is included in our database if:
 | Considered as Dashora Brahmin by other members of the Dashora Brahmin
Community included in our database. |
| Ancestor or Descendant of a person included in the database. |
| Closely related to a person included in our database. |
| (at our discretion) A person / family claiming to be Dashora
Brahmins - if we have sufficient info to believe that after
research we will be able to connect the person to others in the
database.

How can I and my family be included in the data-base ?
If you satisfy any of the conditions mentioned above
but are not included in the database, we will be glad to include you and your
family in our database. Though we may work with you establish your
relationship to the other members of Extended Dashora Community before we
include you and grant you access. Sometimes that may take bit of time and
willingness to do research on your own part.
|
|
What is the purpose of the data base?
The database has been created by us as an attempt
to find our roots and our relatives. We soon realized that this means the
"Extended Dashora Community" as described above. We are pleased to
share the data with all members of the "Extended Dashora
Community" so that we all can collaborate in its creation and benefit from this
work.
|
|
Who can access the data base?
The primary database is password protected and open only to
people included in the database. To gain access to the database you can use
the online form to request an account. When you do so please describe who you are
and how you are related to Dashora community.
The software sends a verification
message to check validity of your e-mail address.
As many people may have
same name the account administrator will correspond with you to
uniquely establish your identity and to determine if you are already in database.
Access will be granted as soon as we identify you.
If you are
not in the database additional information will be required to establish if
you can be part of our database.
Once we have the basic information to
connect you with the Dashora Community, we will create an entry for you in the database.
Then only we can grant you the access to the data base.
Alternatively you can send us an email at
family@pugmarks.com and we
will be pleased to work with you to set up your account.

Why should I and my family be included in the
data-base ?
The data base is a collaborative venture by those
contributing to it. By combining data from different sources in a single
database it makes it easy to find our roots and relatives. This is possible
for each and every person in the data base.
Our query based software permits you to create
family trees (pedigree, ancestor, and descendent charts). Also it allows you to find how you are related to others
in the data-base.
The more info is entered in the database the more useful it will become for
all people included in the database.
|
|
Is it possible that my name and family details
exist in you data base even if I have never had any communication with you?.
Yes. Our data base has been created by:
| our own recollections |
| our own research by talking to and correspondence
with our relatives and |
| by virtue of data supplied by other members of the Dashora
Community. |
|
|
Are some people included in the primary database not
really Dashoras?
Yes that is correct. We have used the term "Extended Dashora Community"
to include people who may not be Dashora Brahmins themselves but are closely
related (parents, grand parents brothers sisters or first or second cousins) to other Dashora Brahmins because of inter-marriage to a
member of Dashora Brahmin Community. The inclusion of a person in our data
base does not imply that the person is a Dashora Brahmin.
Although we are not actively involved in researching non-Dashora roots of Dashora
Families, in case, if you are a descendent of such a family and if you wish to conduct
further genealogical research about your non-Dashora roots and include your research results as part of our database, we can assist you,
if necessary, by creating a
separate secondary data-base on our server. However we will depend on you to provide us with your family files
and updates.
