    Do you have any information about Narail raj family? Actually, there is a small story related to our family. The ansestors of our family first settled in Bali(West Bengal) and later some of the family members moved to Andul(West Bengal) while the rest moved to Narail. I belong to the Andul's part, who were given the title of 'Chowdhury' by the nawab of Bengal while those in Narail got the title of 'Rai' originally we are Dutta. If you have any information about Narail Rai family then please provide me..better if you could find me a contact there!
    Thank you!
