Mangaluru: Genealogy expert Dr. Michael Lobo opined that learning about one’s genealogy is mainly useful for satisfying curiosity. He said that for Christians, it is enough to look at church records to trace family lineage, but apart from fulfilling curiosity, it does not have much practical use. Dr. Lobo, who researched genealogies and published a ten-thousand-page book on the subject and also received a doctorate from a foreign university for his work, shared these views while speaking as the keynote speaker at a genealogy programme.
The programme was organized on the occasion of the 52nd Foundation Day of Konkani Bhasha Mandal Karnataka(KBMK)(R) at the BEM School, Car Street Hall, with the cooperation of the Tauro family.
S.L. Shet Diamond & Jewellers chairman S. L. Prashanth Shet, who inaugurated the programme by lighting the lamp, said that by organizing various meaningful programmes, the Konkani Bhasha Mandal Karnataka is moving towards fulfilling its true objective of addressing the needs of the Konkani community.
Presiding over the programme, President Raymond D’Cunha Taccode said that Konkani language associations exist in Karnataka, Kerala, Goa, and Maharashtra, and their work is part of the Konkani movement. He noted that earlier they were at the forefront of struggles for the formation of an academy and for recognition under the Eighth Schedule, and now they are prepared to continue the movement for a Konkani Bhavan and for postgraduate (MA) studies in Konkani.
Chief guest John A.Tauro Kamath conveyed her best wishes. Manvel Tauro, who had researched the genealogy of the Tauro family, explained details about the family lineage. Praveen Tauro explained about the genealogy of his Tauro family.
Participants who attended the programme also shared their experiences and information related to genealogy.
Treasurer Vasanth Rao, Geetha C. Kini, and Juliet Fernandes conducted the question-and-answer session.
Vice President Meenakshi N. Pai and State Teachers’ Association Former Vice President Stany Tauro delivered the concluding remarks.
At the beginning, Executive Member Robert Menezes welcomed the gathering, Secretary Liston D’Souza delivered the vote of thanks, and Jossy Pinto compered the programme.
