Traditional genealogy of bengali brahmins: vandyopAdhyAYa and other families of shANDilya gotra.

These are the traditional genealogies of rADh.I families descended from bhaTTanArAYaNa of shANDilya gotra. All vandyopAdhyAYa are of this gotra. No attempt has been made to make this page more comprehensible: it is mainly intended as people looking for their origins, and I am sure they will treat this only as material to start them off towards more serious investigation. For the Bhatpara Bhattacharya's, however, see here.

A Tapas K. Bhattacharya is Shandilya and has a Y haploype R1a1a (2010 nomenclature; previous R1a1). A Moulinath Banerjee, descendant of Sibsankar Banerjee 104–1940 of Chinsurah, India is also R1a and has the STR profile: 393:13 390:25 19/394:16 391:12 385a:11 385b:14 426:12 388:12 439:10 389-1:14 392:11 389-2:31 458:16 459a:9 459b:10 455:11 454:11 447:24 437:14 448:20 449:32 464a:12 460:11 GATAH4:11 YCAIIa:19 YCAIIb:19 456:15 442:13 438:11 531:11 557:15 462:11 GATAA10:13 522:10. This is at a distance 8/29 from mine, a claimed descendant of Vedagarbha, which is about 95% certain to be between 11 and 122 generations, less than 111 generations, and the modal value is 52 generations or about 1300 years since the last common ancestor. Another person, descendant of a Harihar Bandyopadhyay, also from India has the STR profile: 393:12 390:24 19/394:14 391:11 385a:19 385b:19 426:11 388:14 439:12 389-1:13 392:11 389-2:29 458:17 459a:9 459b:9 455:11 454:10 447:26 437:14 448:21 449:33 464a:12 464b:14 464c:15 464d:16 460:10 GATAH4:10 YCAIIa:19 YCAIIb:22 456:15 607:14 576:17 570:19 CDYa:36 CDYb:38 442:11 438:9, which is much more distant (53/37, 39/29 between the two) and seems to be a J2a according to a haplogroup prediction page. The former is almost equidistant with Arunabha Chaterjee's results: a difference of 10/29 translates to between 11 and 134 generations, less than 121 generations, with a modal value of 49 generations or about 1200 years. Note that at these large distances, the generation calculation is likely to be unreliable except as estimates of minimal separations.

A Sanmay Bandyopadhyaya, on the other hand, is a 12/12 match for Ronojoy Chatterji with STR profile 393:14 390:23 19/394:13 391:10 385a:14 385b:19 426:12 388:13 439:10 389-1:13 392:10 389-2:29 and confirmed R2. A Tushar Nath Bhadury and a Bengali by the name Javin Antony Reid also match this profile.

It would not have been possible for me to collect this information except for the very useful book called brAhmaNa-itihAsa by shrIharilAla caTTopAdhyAYa. I have no idea how he collected all this material, and what criterion he used to select from among the available genealogies of bengali brahmins. The book has sometimes been difficult to decipher, and interested readers should look at the original to verify my interpretation.

And finally, remember, tradition is not history. Similar caveats apply to the historicity of these genealogies as apply to my own.

1. bhaTTanArAYaNa was one of 6 brothers: dAmodara, shaurI, bhaTTanArAYaNa, mahAmati, shaGkara and vishvambhara.

In addition, there are the genealogies whose starting points I could not connect up. One starts with shrIshrInityAnanda [1], the famous nitAi of the vaishnavas. He was the eldest of seven sons of hAD.Ai (hAD.o) ojhA paNdita and padmAvatI, who lived in ekcakrA village in vIrabhUma. It is claimed that haD.Ai was a vAD.urI, and he was also called mukunda. nityAnanda married vasudhA and jAhNavA, two daughters of sUryyadAsa sarakhela of khaD.adaha.
