His last name is Maknojia, but was also known as "Vali Jivan Vepari Maknojia." My father says his birth year is about 1966 an he is in the middle of his ten siblings. The only information I really have was that they were married in India. I feel as though I've hit a brick wall because nothing is coming up for the surname Maknojia. Any and all help is appreciated.

Hi Could this possibly be your Alexander Holmes. If you get a copy of his LDS baptism record which is free through the photoduplication for the LDS it may give the father's occupation. The waiting time for these could be some time as I'm sure they would have a backlog on the waiting list for copies.
