Family

I am from India, Spain, Portugal and New Zealand. I have a very large extended family, scattered all over the world, but most of them live in India and New Zealand. My Grandparents were born in different cities around India, my Nana and Grandmother were born in Pune. Papa was born in Mumbai. Both Mumbai and Pune are in the state of Maharashtra, situated on the west coast of India. My Grandfather was born in Belgaum in the state Karnataka, slightly further south.
I have learnt a great deal about the history of my family from interviewing my Grandparents. For example I learnt from my Nana that my Great-Grandfather fought in the World War for Britain many years ago. My Grandmother did Indian classical dancing for three months when she was sixteen. My Grandfather played the harmonica and my Papa raised a flock of homing pidgeons.
