Dhiren and Mayadebi Bhattacharyya
My mother's family is recorded as descended from Bhavanath Chattopadhyay (ভবনাথ চট্টোপাধ্যায়), a brahmin of kAshyapa gotra living in Nalchira (নলচিড়া) village in Nimandwip (নিমনদ্বীপ) in Barishal (বরিশাল) district in current Bangladesh. (Possibly this place.) According to tradition, all Chattopadhyays are descended from a brahmin called Daksa (দক্ষ).
His son was Kushinama Ramgopal Kaviraj Chakravarti (কুশিনামা রামগোপাল কবিরাজ চক্রবর্ত্তী)
He had three sons: Gangesh Tarkalankar (গঙ্গেশ তর্কালঙ্কার) settled in Brahmanbariya (ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া) in Banga (বঙ্গ) (maybe this); Raghudev (রঘুদেব), who settled in Banshabati (বংশবাটী) in Kashi (কাশী); and Madhav (মাধব) who stayed in Nalchira in Nimandwip.
He had two sons: Ramkanta Vacaspati (রমাকান্ত বাচষ্পতি) and Raghav (রাঘব).
He had three sons: Kalidas Siddhantavagish (কালিদাস সিদ্ধান্তবাগীশ), Jagannath Panchanan (জগন্নাথ পঞ্চানন) and Krishnadev Nyaylankar (কৃষ্ণদেব ন্যায়ালঙ্কার).
Kalidas had four sons, the second of whom was Rameshvar (রামেশ্বর), who may have been confused with another person of the same name.
Krishnadev's son was Gauriprasad (গৌরীপ্রসাদ).
Gaurprasad had two sons: Hariprasad (হরিপ্রসাদ) and Bhairavchandra (ভৈরবচন্দ্র).
Hariprasad's son was Kalikaprasad (কালিকাপ্রসাদ).
Bhairavchandra's son was Bhagavanchandra (ভগবানচন্দ্র).
kalikaprasad's son was Rameshvar (রামেশ্বর). He may have been confused with another person of the same name.
Ramkishor (রামকিশোর).
Ratnakrishna (রত্নকৃষ্ণ).
Chandrakumar (চন্দ্রকুমার).
He had four sons: Kaminikumar (কামিনীকুমার) was the oldest and Hemantakumar (হেমন্তকুমার) was the youngest. They lived in a village called Panbariya (পানবাড়িয়া), but when the river Phultala (ফুলতলা) swallowed their land sometime in the early 1940's, they moved to Paschim Bagura (পশ্চিম বগুড়া) in barishAla. I do not know where these are, but Panbaria is probably this, though it may be this instead, and Paschim Bagura may be in Barisal city. It is possible that the current Taltali river was called Phultala in the past. Kaminikumar left Barishal and came to West Bengal about six months before independence on 15th August 1947.
Kaminikumar had four children: daughter Sukhada (সুখদা) settled in Erenda (এড়েঁদা), and sons Nivaran (নিবারণ), Dhiren (ধীরেণ) (b. Bengali 20 kArttika of 1904 AD, d. 16 Aug 1983), who settled in Chandannagore (চন্দন্নগোর), Nagen (নগেন), who settled in Goghata (গোঘাটা), and Ratneshvar (রত্নেশ্বর) who died immediately after marriage just before the family moved to West Bengal; and Sona (সোনা), Chitta (চিত্ত), and Satya (সত্য) by a second marriage. Dhiren was a teacher in the school at Shankar Math in Barisal Sadar; and after coming to West Bengal used to teach in Chatra, Srirampose.
Sukhada had four sons Shambhu (শম্ভু), Bonu (বোনু), Debu (দেবু), and another, and two daughters, the younger called Mina (মীনা).
Nivaran, who married a 7 or 9 year old girl, died by the time she was 17. Their daughter Sundari (সুন্দরী) settled in Chakda (চাকদা). She passed away 5–10 years before 2000. She had two sons, the elder being Mantu (মণ্টু), and possibly two daughters.
Dhiren married Mayadebi Chakrabarti (মায়াদেবী চক্রবর্তী). [She was born on 11 May 1918 to Basanta Chakrabarti (বসন্ত চক্রবর্ত্তী) of Chandrahar (চন্দ্রহার) (22° 55' N, 90° 16' E); and had two younger sisters and two brothers. The elder of the two sisters was Leela (লীলা) who is now expired, mother of son Tapan (তপন) and daughters Namita (নমিতা) and Kalpana (কল্পনা), who had insanity and passed away in the 1990's; and the younger was Reba (রেবা) who had two sons: Buro (বুড়ো) and Babu (বাবু) and two daughters: Swapna (স্বপ্না) and Ramala (রমলা). Buro and Babu had a son each (their thread ceremonies were around 2007). Basanta Chakrabarti's sons were called Haridas (হরিদাস), also called Chand (চাঁদ), and Bijay Krishna (বিজয় কৃষ্ণ). Mayadebi passed away 24 Feb 1977.] Dhiren and Mayadevi had a number of children: the first child Anjali (অঞ্জলি), born in Bengali 22 Pausha 1340, died early (Bengali 1357), the second Arati (আরতী) was born on Tuesday, 20 Oct 1936 (Bengali 3 kArttika 1343; 8 Feb 1940 according to her passport) in Panbaria (Barishal, Bangladesh according to her passport), the third was Shephali (শেফালী) (b.
