Genealogy of Bhatpara Bhattacharyya

This is a copy of the genealogy of the Bhatpara Bhattacharyya clan made on Dec 7 2006 (when it was at the website bhattacharya.us. They are unusual because they are of Sandilya gotra, but derive their genealogy from Vedagarbha. See their page for details and updates.

A Tapas K. Bhattacharya is Shandilya and has a Y haploype R1a1a (2010 nomenclature; previously R1a1). There is also another short Bhattachraya genealogy genealogy on the web; haven't checked if either of these connect up to the Bhatpara Bhattacharyas.

I also got contacted by a Gopal Bhattacharya of a family that came from kanauj via faridpur, then shyampur, then halisahar, and finally settled in bhAtpArA. and whose grandfather was Jagatdurlabh Bhattacharya, ex-editor-in-chief of Gupta Press Panjika, whose son Shivapada Bhattacharya is founder of dInabandhu vidyAlaYa. Gopal's father's uncle shrIjIva nyAYatIrtha (who lives a few houses south) was son of paJcAnana tarkaratna (There are two by that name in 28 above). Jagatdurlabh's brother-in-law was brahmamohana bhaTTAcAryya of bindubasini road mentioned above.
