Cheers, Henry

Henry Thanks for info. I studied at St Mary?s High School in Bombay 52 to 59 and there were three brothers - princes: Bhagirath, Ranvir but do remember the youngest. What is connection between Himmanagar and Idar (believe in Maharasthra state today) Trying to trace them for a school reunion to be held in Dec this year.

Hello, The State of Idar was founded in 1248 A.D. by Rao Sonigji grandson of Raja Jaichand founder of Kanauj whose descendants ruled over Idar for 22 generations till the year 1729 A.D. Two brothers, Rathore brothers of Jodhpur Anand Singh and Rai Singh acquired this territory from Rao Chandra Singh and consolidated it. From that day except for a short time when it passed back into the hands of Raos of Polo [ now Vijaynagar] and Rehwars but ultimately it was again reconqured by Maharaja Shiv Singh in 1751 A.D. and remained under the sway of this Surya Vanshi Rathore Clan. Maharaja Anand Singh was the first Maharaja of Idar. Maharaja Anand Singh was succeeded by his son Maharaja Shiv Singh. Maharaja Shiv Singh was succeeded by Maharaja Bhavansingh. He had another brother Maharaj Sangram Singh. Maharaja Bhavansingh was succeeded by his son Maharaja Gambhirsingh. Maharaj Sangramsingh had one son Maharaj Karan Singh. Maharaja Gambhirsingh was succeeded by his son Maharaja Jowan Singh. Maharaj Karan Singh had two sons, Maharaj Takhatsingh and Maharaj Prithisingh. Maharaja Jowan Singh was succeeded by his son Maharaja Kesari Singh and he in turn was succeeded by his son Maharaja Krishnasingh [ who died young ] and he had no issue. So the succession devolved to Maharaja Sir Pratapsinhji the eldest surviving son of Maharaj Takhatsingh. he ascended the Throne in February 1902, he ruled for 9 years and in May 1911, he abdicated to assume charge as Maharaja Regent of Jodhpur, due to the demise of his nephew Maharaja Sardar Singhji of Jodhpur. He was succeeded by his adopted son Lt.Col. His Highness Maharaja Sir Dowlat Sir Dowlat Singhji who ruled for twenty years from 1911 to 1931. He was succeeded by his eldest son His Highness Maharaja Shri Himmat Singhji, born on 2nd. September 1899 and ascended the Throne on 14th. April 1931. He had two brothers Mansingh and Madan Singh. His Highness Maharaja Himatsingh was the founder of Himatnagar and sifted his capitol there. He was succeeded by his son His Highness Maharaja Daljit Singh, born in 1917. He had one other brother AmarSingh, born in 1919. His Highness Daljit Singh was succeeded by his son His Highness Maharaja Rajendrasinhji who is the present Maharaja. He has no brothers. His uncle Amar Singh is alive. The present Maharaja has only one daughter. No Male heir. Yours Faithfully, Y.S. Jaideepsinh of Kotharia. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Henry Soszynski" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 2:27 PM Subject: Re: RES: [INDIA-ROYALTY] new user > At 08:51 AM 26/01/04 -0800, you wrote: > >Searching for: > > > >HH Princes of Bhagirath Singh of Himmatnagar (Idar) > >DOB +/- 1945 to date > > > If there's such a person in the Idar Royal Family, he could be a son or > grandson of Maharaj Madan Singhji, born 4th February 1912, or of Maharaj Amar > Singh, born 1919, who married Rani Surendra Kunwar of Osian. > Cheers, > Henry > > > ============================== > Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration > Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
