OUR PURPOSE
About MAUNAS RESEARCH
Tracing Roots. Reconstructing Histories.
India-based genealogical, archival and field research for families and professional researchers around the world.
MAUNAS RESEARCH connects documentary evidence with historical geography and local context to help families trace their Indian roots.
We investigate ancestral places, study historical records, assess spelling variations and, where appropriate, undertake field research and local verification. Our work focuses on careful source review and clear explanation of what the available evidence does and does not establish.
Our Research Principles
Transparent Methods
We distinguish confirmed facts, plausible candidates and questions requiring further work.
Confidentiality
Client information and supplied family documents are handled carefully.
Our Focus
We have particular research interests in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, British India records, historical place-name identification and Girmitiya / indentured labour ancestry. Each project is scoped according to its question, source availability, timeframe and budget.
