Dear Mr.Nunes,
I am also interested in tracing my family tree and hope this is towards achieving something in that direction. My father's name is Lionel Thomas Nunes and was the eldest son in his family. He was born in Trichur, Kerala, South India in 1919.He served with the British Wiltshire Regiment as sergeant major during 1939-45 and saw action in Burma, Singapore etc.(He actually was twice mentioned in despatches but got not a penny's benefit from the British war office). He expired in 1992 at Madras, India where I am staying.
His father was Prof.Sebastian F. Nunes also settled at Trichur.My grandfather had two brothers Cyril and Terrance, one of whom lived in Bombay and the other at some estates in Kerala. We have practically no link with those branches. My great grandfather also lived at Trichur, used to speak Portuguese and beleived to have come from abroad but I do not Know his name (I can get it if your interested). Also it is believed that this family had a tradition of naming their eldest or one of the sons Sebastian
If you find any link I will be interested.
