It all started with the information
of the Waghela family tree
collected by
Manilal Lauchand Waghela in a
manuscript dated 15th
February 1956 which was in 1997 transcribed by
Paresh Lauchand
Waghela into an Excel Spreadsheet. It contained the male lineage
starting from
Amraji, the first Waghela to come to Diu. Paresh
Lauchand tried then with limited success to update the information.
He tried also to expand it so as to include other families with which the Waghela's had connections (married their wives from, married their
daughters to) soon realising that this was a huge task, not possible
with the tools he had. That is when
Guirish Paresh Waghela searched
the internet and found GenoPro (then in version 1!) and used it to
organize the information from the Excel spreadsheet. Later on, in
2004-2005, additional information was collected (see Credits) making
it possible to publish it here in 24th December 2006.
