Hello! Does anybody know if there is a couple in the extended Cooch Behar Royal Family with the following names: Husband: Satya Narayan Simha or Singha or Sinha Wife: Katyayani Also, if such a couple ever had a child kidnapped from them in the early 1970s? Thank you very much for any information. I am researching to reunite such a couple with their child (now grown up). -Deepti Kaparti, USA __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Also, the Rajas of Darrang and Bijni are collateral descendants, splitting off around 1600, and they use the surname of Narayan. Regretfully the data I have seen only goes to about 1920 and has no info on present members. Googling has not shown up anything either. Sorry and good luck with your research. Kind regards, Henry
