Dear all, unfortunately no reply on my question below. Hence, a new try. Pls see below. In addition I am as well looking for a historian who could do some research + continue a book written in the 1920s about my family. A contact name of a historian would already help. Or a book dealing with 17 - 18th (19th) century Bengali landowners.

Could anyone suggest someone? As I am in India at the moment I would be glad to discuss as well via telephone. Thank you, G Roy Chowdhury

Dear Gregor, Very little literature has been published in English on Zamindars of East Bengal. The right place for you would be to go to Bangladesh and try in Faridpur. It will be useful only if you can read and converse in Bangla.   With best wishes, P.K.Saha --- On Tue, 11/11/08, gregor.roy@gmail.com <gregor.roy@gmail.com> wrote: From: gregor.roy@gmail.com <gregor.roy@gmail.com> Subject: [INDIA-ROYALTY] FW: historian - east bengal zamindari To: india-royalty@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, 11 November, 2008, 11:13 AM Dear all, unfortunately no reply on my question below.
