The earliest ancestor in the list is a brahmin (priests, upper caste) by the name of 1. Vedagarbha (বেদগর্ভ) of sAvarNa gotra who came to Bengal from Kanyakubja (কান্যকুব্জ) or Kanauj (in present day central Uttar Pradesh) which was then probably under the rule of the gurjara pratihAra dynasty. A brief political history of that time is available here. For more details on this mythology, see the main genealogy page.
2. Hemagarbha (হেমগর্ভ)
3. Ratnagarbha (রত্নগর্ভ)
4. Komalanga (কোমলাঙ্গ)

7. Mangali (মাঙ্গলী) or (মাঙ্গালী)
8. Sasthivara (সষ্ঠীবর) or Sasthidhara ((ষষ্ঠীধর))
The Kunda dynasty officially starts with 9. Rosakara Brahmachari (রোষাকর ব্রহ্মচারী).
roSAkara had a brother called Rashmikara (রশ্মিকর) and (I can't understand this part) a baby(?) brother/sister(?) shishu? (শিশু) revati ? revatikaa ? gAGguli? (গাঙ্গুলি). rashmikara died with no children. Mythology about this period can be found at the main genealogy page.
10. Shatha (শাঠ) or Shadho (শাধো) and brothers Shava (শাব), Dhana (ধন) and Rama (রাম).

Gau Shivanama (গাউ শিবনামা), Bau Mukundapandit (বাউ মুকুন্দপণ্ডিত), 18. Shankar (শঙ্কর), and their foster brother Purushottama (পুরুষোত্তম).
19. Mangalacharya (মঙ্গলাচার্য্য) and Krishnadas (কৃষ্ণদাস). kRSNadAsa moved from Shrimad Vikrampur (শ্রীমদ বিক্রমপুর) to Domsara (ডোমসার) village (may be Domsar, Shariatpur)
20. Raghunatha Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya (রঘুনাথ সার্ব্বভৌম ভট্টাচার্য্য) and Gopinatha Chakravarti (গোপীনাথ চক্রবর্তী), the two sons of mangalAcAryya moved to moSakAThI (মোষকাঠী) (seems like the same place called moD.AkAThI (মোড়াকাঠী) later on). They were apparently brought there, along with their deity, by an important personage referred to as king Ramachandra (রামচন্দ্র) . This king may be the same as Raja Ramchandra of Bakla who probably lived from the end of 16th to early 17th century.
21. Ramajeevan Bhattacharya (রামজীবন ভট্টাচার্য্য)
22. Ramagovinda Vidayalankar Bhattacharya (রামগোবিন্দ বিদ্যালঙ্কার ভট্টাচার্য্য) had 4 brothers: Rameshvar (রামেশ্বর) who had two children, neither of whom fathered any children, Ramavallabh (রামবল্লভ), Rama (রাম), and Raghava (রাঘব). The sons of rAma-vallabha moved to Naudhuli (নৌধুলী) village (also called Dhula (ধূল) village), rAma moved to Tarapasha (তারপাশা) village, whereas rAghava's descendants settled in Shikarpur (শীকারপূর) and Batajore (বাটাজোর) (see description of region around moD.AkAThi village).
Shivaram (শিবরাম) and 23. Gangaram (গঙ্গারাম)
Raghuram (রঘুরাম), 24. Ramgopal (রামগোপাল), Ramananda (রামানন্দ), Ramsharan (রামশরণ), and Rupnarayan (রূপনারায়ণ). raghu-rAma's son moved to Baishi (বাইশী) village, rAmAnanda moved to Haritpura (হরিতপুর) village, and rUpa-nArAYaNa did not leave any descendants today. rAma-sharaNa stayed on in moD.AkAThi village.
25. Ramrudra Siddhanta (রামরুদ্র সিদ্ধান্ত) and Kalicharan (কালীচরণ) both stayed on in moD.AkaThI, though no one was left of kAlI-caraNa's family in moD.AkAThI ultimately.
Ramratna Vidyavagish (রামরত্ন বিদ্যাবাগীশ), Ratiram (রতিরাম), Ratikanta (রতিকান্ত, missing from one list), Kashinath Tarkabhushan (কাশীনাথ তর্কভূষণ), and 26. Shambhunath Vidyalankar (শম্ভুনাথ বিদ্যালঙ্কার) (descendants in our house: a mud house). rati-rAma and rati-kAnta had no sons, and rAma-ratna's line ultimately died out. kAshI-nAtha's generations (lived in puran bAD.i, a brick house northwest of our house, before manasAtalA and raYabAD.i) are listed elsewhere.
Harinarayan Nyayvagish (হরিনারায়ণ ন্যায়বাগীশ), (some descendants lived in the east building of our house, and some moved to naYA bAD.i, a mud house southwest of our house across the road), and 27. Gaurinath Tarkavagish (গৌরীনাথ তর্কবাগীশ).
Durgacharan (দুর্গাচরণ), Shyamacharan (শ্যামাচরণ), Gurucharan Shiromani (গুরুচরণ শিরোমণি) (descendants lived in southern building in our house) and 28. Vanamali Smritiratna (বণমালী স্মৃতিরত্ন) (we lived in the western building in our house). vaNamAlI wanted to be a sannyAsI, so he ran away from home to Calcutta. He was probably offerred a house in Calcutta by someone (a disciple of the family, perhaps), but that was not suffcient to hold him there. He was finally brought back by guru-caraNa, and was married off. He died around 1925 and his wife passed away after 1946. durgA-caraNa and shyAmA-caraNa died without issue.
Yamini and Shailabala Bhattacharya
29. Yamini (যামিনী) and Nalini (নলিণী) (he moved to a new building yet west of our building at some point), and another daughter (who lived in benares). yAminIkAnta bhaTTAcAryya (born around 1892) married Shailabaladebi (শৈলবালা দেবী) (about 12 or 13 years younger, when she was about 11 or 12; bedridden after a fall in 1974; passed away Oct 1976), who was one out of about 8 offsprings (eldest of 3 daughters of whom youngest was pArijAta whose eldest daughter was lAvi and 3 sons: baba's baromama, sonamama and chhotomama; mejomama was a cousin: they lived around BT road, near nimtA) of Kalikinkar (কালিকীঙ্কর) Tarkavagish? (তর্কবাগীশ) / Vachaspati? (বাচষ্পতি) of Minajdi (মিনাজদি) village in Madanpur (মদনপুর) or Madaripur? (মাদারিপুর) subdivision which is currently in Bangladesh. In the November of 1961, yAminI was lost walking from a cousin sonA's (wife's brother) house in nimtA near Calcutta to a cousin kArtika's (wife's cousin of same generation) house Sodpur. When he was discovered missing a few months later, a search was started. Many years later, his clothes and bags were recovered from a lake there next to some human bones and people in the region remember hearing shouts for help one night, indicating he might have fallen into the lake, gotten disoriented, swam into the lake, and drowned.
