 Welcome to Alummoottil Family Website




 Alummoottil
 Syrian Catholic Family 
 Changanacherry Kerala India  
      
 
It is interesting
  to note that if an internet search for the
  family name ‘Alummoottil’ is performed,
  the majority of results come  up with Syrian Christians
  with their last names ‘Alummoottil’.
  Genealogically nobody has been able to establish the origins of these  
  Christian    families in Kerala and it is not known
  if these family’s are related to each other and originated from
  one family. It may or may not be possible
  that these families might have originated
  from ancestors of the one original Alummoottil family .
  It is also possible that as time rolled by many of them might
  have migrated from one place to another
  to distant and different places. It is a fact that
  an overwhelming majority of Kerala Syrian Christians usually
  trace their origins to ‘Brahmins’ who converted to Christianity
  seeing the divine charm of St. Thomas, who is believed to have
  come to Kerala in 52 AD, they may not accept any other
  explanation contrary to this
  Alummoottil is the 75524th most  popular last (sur)name in
  the United States












 "Searching for ancestors is a journey of self-discovery .
  As you learn who they were you discover
  more about who you are ......"

 "If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all         
  generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present
  in your  
body. You are the    continuation of each of these people."   Thich Nhat Hanh

Genealogy

Genealogy is a study of family and identification of ancestors and their pertinent information about birth, death, etc. It is also known as family History, family search, ancestor search, family tree, lineage, personal ancestry , Redeeming the Dead etc, As Genealogy is the study and tracing of family pedigrees,  it  involves the collection of the names of relatives, both living and deceased, and establishing the relationships among them based on primary, secondary and/or circumstantial evidence or documentation, resulting in the building up of a  family tree. It is a fascinating subject  today for many all over the world . It is interesting for some one with a historical sense and family values, to trace the history of one's own family and try to understand the way of life, customs, and traditions  of  our ancestors . It will keep a person  busy with his past generations and will give some satisfaction and  fulfillment  . The knowledge acquired through research as far as it goes can be passed on to our children and from them to the  future generations

About this website
This is not an attempt to write the history of Alummoottil family Changanacherry . Compiling the  history  of Alummoottil family or any other family in Kerala in  detail and
accurate is extremely complex and complicated  . Many of them who belongs to the old generation is no more . History based on traditions customs folklore etc are not
exact history but story . History should be based on written or unwritten documents and other reliable evidence  . Family history of many are  often   based  on traditions,
customs, folklore, imaginations etc . In that case the history may miss the authenticity and may inherently contain the loopholes for unreliable  conclusions and opinions.
You may find the same limitations in this attempt also if I make an attempt to write the history at this point of time. That I may do it later when I get enough material  .
Kindly note that in my opinion the so called "Ancient Family" is a myth and most of the Syrian catholic families  could claim that so called "Ancient Traditions" and
"Ancient family status"  .   . First of all let me state that as in most cases it is  my father who made me proud of my family traditions and inspired me for an attempt to create
a family website .  .My mother like any other mother ,more than anybody else was concerned about "Good families"  only when her children were getting married  
 I was too young to understand all these when my father  was talking about family traditions etc
 .I left my home town in Changanacherry when I was very young .  However Prof. A.. E. Augustine who was my professor in St. Berchmans' College  and  a member of the
Alummoottil family  once expressed his desire to convene the family meeting and compile the list of members  . He is no more. .There after in recent times I happened to meet
 Thankappan  Retd. Deputy Collector of Kottayam Collectorate  and he told me about convening a meeting of members of family . Unfortunately he is also no more ..Recently
when I visited Kerala  my cousin Philip (joy)  expressed his opinion  to call a meeting of the family and he said he will first contact Rev Sr. Leonisa of Clarist Convent Erumely
who is probably the one of the  last link with the older  generation 
What I have presented here to a greater extent is something derived and generated out of my limited contact with some family members  and direct search through internet .
My attempt to host this website is with the aim of giving a chance to the members of the family to come together and exchange their ideas This website is hosted  with the hope
 that this may enable the future  generations of this family, scattered around the world, to know each other and to get inspired from the life of each one of them. Finally I owe my
 special thanks to Rev Sr. Leonisa who holds a unique position in the family and  in the Clarist Convent Erumely and my thanks to J .Marattukalam for technical support

 
 

Explanation about Family members
The sponsor of this website is residing in USA at present  and was away from Changancherry for the last  four decades . It is difficult for some one who
was away  from hometown to collect the names of all members and present it in order in a short period of time. Any discrepancy or mistake is deeply regretted
 but it will be rectified as soon as it is pointed out .This incomplete list is published to connect the present generation with the past .
  The names appeared below is recorded  from memory. Hence discrepancy is inevitable  This incomplete  random list will be revised classified and systematized
as and when I receive more information from reliable sources 
 The random list of family members are  published with the aim of giving an idea to the present generation  to link their relationship to many members who are quite
often  unknown and living in distant and different places  As hosting website is the best way to  slowly establish contact with members, this website is hosted with
whatever  details available .   It will be revised  as and when unlisted names are received. . Those who belong to Alummoottil family of Changanacherry  and those
who are interested may  send information to the following

Christianity in Kerala

The history of most of the  Syrian Christian families in Kerala is linked to the early foundation of Christianity. Any Christian family's history will be beginning in the
first century AD, when St. Thomas
 the apostle ,a courageous and challenging personality brought Christianity to India shortly after the death and resurrection of J
esus Christ. It is believed that St. Thomas, landed in the coastal town of Musiris near Kodungaloor ,Kerala in the year 52 AD . He
 baptized certain Brahmin and
Jewish families in Kerala.For
nearly  two decades he did   missionary work in  Kerala
The Christian community is not homogenous but belongs to different denominations . How ever most of the Christians follow common customs and traditions
Kerala Christians trace their origins  back to 52 AD when St. Thomas came to a  place near Kodungaloor and converted many local inhabitants including the upper
casts known as Namboodiri Brahmins and Jews It is also believed that St. Thomas preached the Gospel and established seven Churches in different places  in
Kerala ( Kodungallore, Palayur, Paravur, Kokkamangalam, Niranam, Chayal, Korakkeni, Kollam) and a chapel (half church-"Arappalli") at Thiruvankottu. .He is
believed to have been martyred at Mylapur, near Madras,India, around 72 AD
The present Christian community especially the Syrian Christians of all denominations believe that they descended from these small early Christian communitis .
They are referred as Syrian Christians as they used Syrian liturgy in church services . The Christians are also known as Nazarenes as they are followers of Jesus
of Nazarene or St. Thomas Christians .
By the fourth century, there were barely 61 families left,  if ancient  verbal songs. are a reliable source
This sad state of affairs is said to have come to an end in AD 345 , when a prominent merchant by the name Knai Thoma came to Kerala in 345 AD with more
than 300 Syrian families and joined the then existing  Syrian Christians in Kerala . They  received respect and honor from the then king Cheraman Perumal. It is
widely believed that by and large today's Kerala Christians are descendants of the a aforementioned early Christians. However some among the followers of
Knai Thoma  maintained their separate identity and came to be known as Knanites
The arrival of Portuguese by sea in 1498 created a new era in the history of church in Kerala  . They were eager to bring all churches under the jurisdiction of
Rome and Bishop Alexis De Menzes succeeded in establishing the Roman Catholic church as the dominant church in Kerala between 1500 to 1650 .
The Portuguese missionaries continued their proselyting activities and attracted many local people in to Christianity . They tried to dominate the Syrian Christian
church and it led to the Synod of Udayamperur
The Portuguese power began to decline by 17 th century resulting in the weakness of Roman Catholic Church
 The decline of the Portuguese led to the arrival of the Dutch and the Carmelite missionaries began to  arrive.  During the ascendancy of the  Dutch  there began
an on going  struggle for  local autonomy . In 1887 two diocese,Kottayam and Trichur were established with local autonomy. In 1896, 6 Bishops from among
Malayalis were appointed as Bishops for the first time
The Vicariate of Kottayam was renamed Changanacherry in 1888 and its head quarters had been shifted to Changancherry in 1891 Since this
town had been a centre of Catholics. . "New Indigenous bishops were appointed Vicars Apostolic to the new Sees. They were Mar Mathew Makil
for Changanacherry, Mar Louis Pazheparambil (from Changanassery Vicariate) for Ernakulam and Mar John Menacherry for Thrissur".

.
A new Vicariate of Kottayam was constituted in1911 exclusively for the Suddists (Knananaya)and Mar Mathew Makil was transferred to Kottayam
as the Vicar Apostolic of Suddists and Mar Thomas Kurialacherry was appointed the Vicar Apostolic of Changanacherry. With the establishment of
the Syro-Malabar Hierarchy on December 21, 1923 by the Bull 'Romani Pontifices' of Pope Pius XI, the Diocese of Thrissur, Changanassery and
Kottayam became suffragans of  the archdiocese of Ernakulam thereby constituting the first Syro-Malabar Province. On July 25, 1950 the Diocese
of Changanacherry was bifurcated by the Bull 'Quo Ecclesiarum' of Pope Pius XII and the new Diocese of Palai was created".
In 1955  boundaries of Changanacherry were extended to the areas south of river Pamba, up to (including) Kanyakumari,by Pope Pius XII,
In 1956 Changanassery was raised to the status of an archdiocese by Pope Pius XII constituting the second province in the Syro-Malabar Church
and Kottayam and Pala came under Changancherry archdiocese.
 
In 1956 ,Kothamangalam Tellicherri and Mananthawadi were established 
. and in 1969 the Metropolitan of Eranakulam was elevated to Cardinal.
In 1977 The Archdiocese of Changnacherry was again divided by  Pope Paul VI and the new Diocese of Kanjirappilly was set up comprising parts
of the  districts of Kottayam, Idukki and Pathanamthitta. 
In 1996 The Archdiocese was divided again and Kanyakumari mission was elevated and the new Diocese of Thuckalay was inaugurated. Mar George
Alencherry was appointed as its first Bishop
In 1975 the missionary work of three (now five) civil districts of the Archdiocese of Agra in the State of U.P was brought completely under 
Archdiocese of Changanasserry.

 In 1956 ,Kothamangalam Tellicherri and Mananthawadi were established 
. and in 1969 the Metropolitan of Eranakulam was elevated to Cardinal. For the Catholic
Church of Kerala the most momentous occasion was the beatification of a Kerala priest and nun by  Pope John Paul II. when he  visited Kottayam and performed
it
 The Christian population of Kerala is approximately 22% as against 2.5% of the Indian average. Among the innumerable Christian denominations  in Kerala,
Catholics form the majority.
 The Roman Catholics in Kerala who declare their allegiance to Pope may be classified into four
1 Syrian Catholics 2 Latin Catholics 3 Malamkara 4 Syrian Knanaya Catholics

 There are three rites among the Kerala Catholics, namely the Roman rite, and the Oriental rites of Syro-Malabar and Syro-Malankara. The oriental rites are commonly
 called
"St. Thomas Christians" as they are the descendants of those converted by St. Thomas, the Apostle when he reached  India in 52 AD. The followers of the
Syro-Malabar rite form the majority of Catholics. The Syro-Malabar Church of Kerala is very active, vigorous  and growing, faithful to the doctrines of the Universal

Church, very rich in vocations and very traditional in family values. Syro-Malabar church is growing to outside Kerala and India. There are 21 eparchies for this church,

 12 in Kerala and 9 outside Kerala. It has crossed the Atlantic ocean and reached united States and Canada In the Syro-Malabar church there is a small group called
" "Knanaya Catholics". It is an ethnic group, and endogamous community which has its own distinct  customs and traditions . They are spread through out the world.
This 200,000+ strong community is under
the Bishop of Kottayam Diocese, who enjoys personal jurisdiction over all Knanaya Catholics residing throughout the world
.Many of them made migration to United States   Even now they are keen on preserving their culture and traditions

       There are nearly 30 different Christian denominations  in Kerala including , Orthodox , Jacobite , Marthoma   CSI, Chaleddeans,  the Pentecostals, Salvation Army 
Yuyomayam  DeivaSabha ,  Russel church, Lutheran Mission.etc
Roman Catholics which include Latin and Syrian Catholics are 61.4 percent of the Kerala Christians, Syrian Orthodox and Jacobite Syrians are 21.4 percent,
Marthomma Syrians 5.7 percent, Church of South India 5.2 percent, and others who are members of various Evangelical churches 6.3 percent..
Kerala Christians are a prosperous community and their  per capita income is higher compare to other religious groups in Kerala .
The Syrian Christian community of Kerala  constitute one of the most ancient Christian communities of the world
They possess commanding influence in the political, social and economical field in Kerala

 

Christianity in  India
India is the second most populous nation in the world .However the most populous religion in the world is a "microscopic minority" in most part of this country.
According to the 2001 census the total number of Christians in India was 24.08 million (2.40 Crores )that is 2.3 percent of India's population . Among the total
population of Christians 7o  % were Roman Catholics including 300 000  members of Syro Malakara and 3.5 million (35Lakh)of syro Malabar church
 In January 1993 the Syro-Malabar Church and in February 2005 Syro-Malankara Church were raised to the status of
major archiepiscopal churches by Pope
ohn Paul II
.
The largest non Catholic -Protestant -denomination in India  is the
Church of South India. CSI came into existence in  1947 as a result of a  union of Presbyterian,
 
Reformed, Congregational, Methodist, and Anglican congregations with approximately 2.2 million (22 lakh) members as of 1995.
Church of North India similar to CSI had 1 million (10 lakh) members. (These churches are in full communion with the Anglican Communion.) "There were about
1.3 million (13 lakh)
Lutherans, 473,000 Methodists, and 425,000 Baptists as of 1995. Oriental Orthodox churches of the Malankara and Malabar rites totaled
2 million (20 lakh) and 700,000 members, respectively. Various groups of
Pentecostalism, Protest denomination, is also a  growing religion in India. It is spreading
fast  in northern India and the southwest area, such as
Kerala. "The largest indigenous Pentecostal church in India is known as  India Pentecostal Church of God (IPC).
Another prominent protestant group is the Brethrens.. There are different groups such as  
Plymouth Brethren, Indian Brethren, Karalla brethren etc.
"During the twentieth century, the fastest growing Christian communities have been located in the northeast, among the
Khasis, Mizos, Nagas, and other hill tribes.
 Today Christians are most prevalent in the northeast (secessionist movements in a few states such as
Nagaland are demanding an independent Christian-majority
entity.But they are slowly assimilating to world's most populous democrcy), and in the southwestern states of Kerala and
Goa. Indian Christians have contributed
significantly to and are well represented in various spheres of national life. Christians are chief ministers of the states like
Andhra Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram,
Manipur, Meghalaya and were chief ministers earlier of Kerala, Goa and Chattisgarh. In the  the ruling Indian National Congress
there are many Christian leaders 
who are occupying important positons .at the national level.

 ORIGINAL Extract from  Chirayail family website

The following extract is from the history of chirayil family Website
"In 52 A.D. St Thomas, the Apostle of Christ came to Kerala, preached Christianity at Kodungaloor, Palayoor and other places, and baptized certain
Brahmin (priest class) families there. Those Brahmins converted to Christianity retained their traditions and customs through generations. The present
generation of the Plammoottil family is the descendants of one of the families converted to Christianity by St. Thomas.

In the earlier centuries, Palayoor (Northern Kerala) was a center of Christian activity. During the invasion of  Tippu Sultan, the Christians fled to the south and settled mostly at Kuravilangad, north of Ettumanoor. After settling down at Kuravilangad they took the lead in the construction of the famous Kuravilangad
Church and many members of those families became priests. Some of these people moved further south and settled at places like Ettumanoor, Athirampuzha,
Palai, Ramapuram, Kottayam, Kudamaloor, Mannanam, Kumarakom, Changanacherry, Mallappally, Kallooppara, Thiruvalla, Chengannoor, Mavelikara, etc.
It is believed that the Christians now living at the above said places are the descendants of the Christians who have settled at Kuravilangad. This is evidenced
by the fact that some of those families are still using the old family names, which they have used at Palayoor and later at Kuravilangad.

The then prevailing religious customs and traditions also have paved way for the transplanting of Christian families from Kuravilangad to the above mentioned
places, where prominent Hindu temples were situated. It was a custom and belief that the temple supplies brought in could be used for the temple rituals only
if it is  ‘purified’ by the Brahmin converted Christians touching it. So it became a necessity to have a Christian family available for such services. Such families enjoyed special rights and privileges from the temple and were entitled to tax free land. These privileges were in effect till the mid nineteen forties. These can
be verified with the temple records of Ettumanoor".
The opinion expressed here is entirly from a member of Chirayil family

The Month Poem:

Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November;
February has twenty-eight alone,
All the rest have thirty-one,
Excepting leap-year, that's the time
When February's days are twenty-nine.
