Acknowledgments

The exercise of documenting family history and descendent lineage is a complicated process that took many family members to participate over a period of time. This endeavor took over two years. Complicating this process is conflicting memories by family members that might have been at the same place at the same time. The correct spelling of a persons name, a town or even an Indian word had diverse opinions. This second limited edition was finally completed with much appreciated help from:

  Ataur Rahman (descendent of Azizur Rahman)

  Bibi Pankaj Durresharan Chowdhury (descendent of Shanoor and Minoor Hazarika)

  Buni Nazma Rahman (descendent of Shanoor and Minoor Hazarika)

  Rukhsana Hazarika (descendent of Azizur Rahman and Khan Bahadur Sayedur Rahman)

  Saleha Rahman (descendent of Khan Bahadur Sayedur Rahman)

  Shirajuddin Hazarika (descendent of Minoor Hazarika)

  Zinat Akhtar (Deepa) Hazarika (descendent of Azizur Rahman)

  Kauser Hazarika (proof reading, descendent of Shanoor & Minoor Hazarika and

  Azizur Rahman and Khan Bahadur Sayedur Rahman)

  Asma Ahmed (restoring old photographs, descendent of Azizur Rahman)

And, most importantly the original author and documenter of the first edition of the family tree, Sharif Mohammed Shah Hussain Hazarika a descendent of Shanoor and Minoor Hazarika.

This work is for members of the family to remember and enjoy their rich heritage. A few names might be spelt in different ways, dates may be slightly off due to fading memories but taken as a whole this documentation is accurate. Short stories on an individual family member was verified by two family members either by person or a telephone conversation.

The next updated version will be completed in 2010 and will be distributed more widely to the family on an internet domain. This version is in a magazine and book type format for ease of reading as well as numerous memorable family photographs. The books are Digital Photo Production originals done by a commercial company at Bogotá, Columbia and Salem, New Hampshire.  Copyrights are by Tawheed S. Hazarika.
