Title: Western India male name advice
Post by: TamA77 on Wednesday 16 October 19 08:11 BST (UK)

Hello everyone,
My ancestor was from India.  I've recently had the DNA test done which has linked me to a 4th cousin descended from the same man.  Their ancestry shows a location of Western/Central India and mine a more general India and surrounds result.  I'm presuming that it is likely then that he came from Western/Central and that this cousin had a closer result with the DNA than mine.  I was hoping that someone out there might be from Western India (the Gujarat/Ahmedabad/Suca region) and might be able to tell me what my ancestors name actually was?  I'm asking because it was spelt a few different ways, Subrata, Sobaretta etc and would love to know what the actual name was and perhaps even a meaning!  He lived in the late 1700s and I believe came out to England with a captain in the East India Trading co.  Thanks, Tam
