[tiruvengadam] The Name Kidampi

[Guest guest]

sri:

 

Dear Members,

 

First and foremost I wish to thank Sriman U.Ve.Sadagopan mama of NY

for the great article. Adiyen has been trying to do some research on

the village Kidambi/Kidampi. I have heard elders say that it is a

hamlet close to thanjavur, yet do not know if this is correct.

 

I have created a called kidambi to try and

make an electronic network and share colloborative information on the

kidambi family.

 

I remeber my late grandfather telling me that our ancestors had

migrated from Nellore due to the Carnatic wars which was going on

during those times.

 

I invite interested readers to join the group either by sending a

blank email to kidambi- or by visiting

kidambi

 

Regards,

 

Malolan Cadambi
