Social:Kursinama
From HandWiki
A Kursinama, also known as a Bansavalinama, is a type of genealogical-pedigree or family-tree found in the Indian subcontinent.[1][2][note 1] Kursinamas can be described as an extended-genealogy of a family.[3] The term can also be used to describe the religious lineage of a particular sect.[4] Shajra documents often contain kursinamas to track the patrilineal descent of land-owners of a particular area.[5][6] Kursinamas are also compiled by Adivasi groups, such as the Munda.[7]
