Dear P. J. Thomas,

I read your recent post regarding ur family tree. U have mentioned that your mother’s family is from Thevallakara, Kollam and has Brahmin origin claims. If you understand genetics then you have some work.

There is a DNA sample in the Syrian Christian DNA project of a person called ‘Thomas Thevallakara’ who is tested and confirmed to be of R1a1 haplogroup and has many Levite (priestly) Jewish matches. I don’t know if his ‘Thevallakara’ is his family name or his native place. If you are interested u can search for, if your mother’s family is related to his paternal family or even if they are from the same place ‘Thevallakara’.

U may get some help if you are related or from same native and it will indicate your ‘Brahmin origin’ claim to be nothing else but a Jewish priestly Levite ancestry for your mother’s family. Let me also state that almost all such Brahmin-origin claimers from our community are proving to be Jewish Priestly class people (Cohens or non-cohen Levites) based on their own DNA. Hence thought of providing you some info on above. Get in touch with Mr. Jacob the project administrator on the Syrian Christian DNA project website (below) he will guide you to the other person for contacts with the other person.
