Family Historian Smita Biswas will share tips to find clues about your family roots in India and Sri Lanka, including understanding the history, surnames and official resources.

Regarded by some historians as the oldest living civilization on Earth, the Indian tradition dates back to 8,000 BC and has a continuous recorded history of over 2,500 years. Most Indian family history has been traditionally maintained only within families, and has been often passed down from generation to generation, with children hearing their stories from their elders from early childhood.
