🌳 The family tree and old pictures

This post is a work in progress as I try to collect old pictures and more stories to go with the names in this family network:

Chart credit: Madeleine. 

Additional notes:

- By Biswajit Basu: My grandmother was Parimal (nee Mitra). Her eldest son was Piyush Kanti, who died in college of meningitis. 

(Edit: See Memories from another era for more stories about her)

- From Shoma (Somomita Taneja): 

My parents formal names were Subir Ghosh and Gayatri Ghosh. I’m married Kashayap Taneja and have a daughter, Tannya Taneja. My Grandparents were Surama Sinha (grandmother) and Pashupati Sinha. 

Further check required: 

Sidhartha Basu has two sisters, nicknames - esha mashi and thabi mashi. Then one more brother. Will check with tapati mamima for their formal names. 

Old pictures:

L-R: Sharada Mitra, Madeline; Pashupati Sinha; KP Mitra; Robin; Margot Mitra; Gayatri Ghosh; Surama Sinha; SN Mitra; Subir Ghosh; circa 1967-68

From Shoma: This had been clicked at 35 Feroz Shah road, where Ma and Baba used to stay with Pronab Mukherjee and his wife. Baba used to write his speech for the next day in Parliament.

Nandalal Ghose (d. 1904)

From Sudeshna De:

Shri Nandalal Ghose was my paternal grandfather's grandfather. He was a lawyer and was good friends with Vidyasagar who officiated at his wedding. They used to meet often and have discussions over drinks though Vidyasagar didn't drink. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was a famous Indian educator and social reformer in the nineteenth century.
