Hi all! this is the first time I've been on this board I usually go on general topics. My g Gran was born in Belgaum, India whilst her Dad served with the army, there are family stories of her Mums ancestry being from an Afghanistan chieftan, any ideas how to find more? Thanks, Cazx

Are you in the same situation? my G gran was i believe half Indian with Afghanistani origins, she would wear a sari and many of those descended from her are dark haired and swarthy skinned, cazx
