Genealogy Questions

Start by gathering information you already know: names, birthdates, marriage dates, and villages. Interview older family members to record oral histories. Then visit our Genealogy Research page for detailed guidance, tools, and resources to help trace your lineage.

Key resources include: 1911 Census of India (documented 38,000+ Waraich in Amritsar), British Library India Office Records, National Archives of India and Pakistan, FamilySearch.org, and Ancestry.com. Visit our Historical Documents page for a comprehensive list of archives and databases.

Ask older family members about village names. Check our Villages section which lists major Waraich settlements across Pakistan and India. Census records often include village information. DNA matches on platforms like Ancestry can also help identify geographic origins.

Yes! We welcome family tree submissions. Please contact us with your research. Include sources for your information and obtain consent from living family members before sharing their details publicly. We can also arrange private archiving if you prefer.

History Questions

The Waraich clan traces its roots to Punjab, emerging as a prominent Jat community with documented presence since at least the 10th century. The clan established significant settlements across Punjab's fertile regions, particularly in areas now within Pakistan (Gujrat, Mandi Bahauddin) and India (Amritsar, Patiala).

The 1947 Partition profoundly impacted the clan, dividing families across the India-Pakistan border. Many Waraich families in areas like Gujrat and Mandi Bahauddin became part of Pakistan, while those in Amritsar and Patiala remained in India. This created lasting separations, though cultural and familial connections endure.

Waraich clan members have contributed significantly to: agriculture (Green Revolution adoption), military service (British Indian Army and post-independence forces), journalism and media, politics and public service, business and entrepreneurship, and academic research. See our Notable Persons section for verified profiles.
