Dear Kurian Zachariah,

I saw another article in “Nasrani Deepika” dated October 24, 1887 on page 16, about Edavazhikal family. It says that they are converts from a Pulayas who attended Portuguese men when they go for hunting. They got this name because they used to walk through “Edavazhies” rather than main roads.
