Family Trees

Discover family trees of various Colombo Chetty families below!

While the website is designed to be veiwed on any device, we recommend a laptop/tablet for the best viewing experience due to the large amount of information. We hope you enjoy exploring!

NEW FEATURE!

Check out the new Dynamic Descendant View for a more interactive experience - clicking a name refocuses the tree rather than viewing a profile.

Guide: Viewing trees

Here is a quick guide to the tree visualizations with an example gif:

tree_example.gif

  • đź’Ť represents a marriage
  • Each graph is a descendant tree. In this example, we have Anthony Anandappa who married Anthonia Wijeratnam and everyone in this tree is descended from this couple.
  • The names underneath are their children, and we can see who each child married. For example, we see that one child of Anthony was Anthony Xavier Anandappa and he married Anna Pieris Tavarayan (who is the daughter of Saviel Pieris Tavarayan and Cecilia Rodrigo).
  • As you scroll down, a color-coded guide will show up to remind you which generation each color represents
  • Button functionalities
    • +: Click the + sign next to each name to see their children. For example, if we click the + button next to Anthony Xavier Anandappa, we will see all of his children. This can be repeated for any names with a + sign
    • -: To hide children after clicking the + sign, click the -.
    • Expand/Collapse All: button will allow you to view all descendants. Clicking it again will hide all descendants
