(If you have further genealogy information on this family line please submit it to sgenweb@gmail.com )

This family originally hailed from Kandy (served the King of Kandy). Genealogy charts are available to the 1500’s (at the Goonetilleke Waluwe). They moved to Colombo to serve the king there (or was it the Portuguese etc.?) Then back to Kandy. (as per Rohan Goonetilleke).

0.1 Vickrama/Wickrama/Vickrema Aratchi Don Diogu was granted in 1542 the title ‘Vickrama Aratchi’ and for services rendered to the king, the village of Welisaragama.

Vickrema Arachchige Diogu

King ________reigning in Senkadagala? conferred in 1542 on Diogu, the title of Vickrema Arachchi in return for the great services rendered to the king by him in the Army, and granted him the whole of Welisaragama situated to the east of Aluthcoor Corale, in the capacity as Hewapanna Arachchi. He did not belong to the Standing Army, but he was often called by the King to attend to him, as the head of his body guard. He was also to be ready, with arms along with his Hewapanna Vidanas, Kankanies and the soldiers under them, whenever their active services were required in war. As Hewapanna Arachchi he, like a Feudal Lord, received the aforesaid village from the king, He was appointed over several Hewapanna Vidaneys who in their turn had several Hewapanna Kankanies, each of whom, in a similar way was placed over certain number of men. They were to join the army or go as the body guard of the King, whenever required. Here we must note that these Hewapanna Arachchies and Vidaneys and Kankanies were different from those who later bore those titles. (to be continued…)

[Note; ‘The Temporal and Spiritual Conquest of Ceylon’ by Fernão de Queyroz mentions the name Diogo. It seems to have been a popular name in the 1500’s amongst the Portuguese. A few Sinhalese also were given that name when they were baptized into Catholicism. Sometimes the name Diogo was written as Diogu in documents. Not sure if our Don Diogu had the same thing happen to his name].

0.2 Hewapanna Arachchi and Hewapanne Vidana Arachchi (meaning of Hewapanne – militia/lascorin. He was head of lascorins.).

0.3 Vickrama Arachchige Charlis Kankanama (meaning of Kankanama – oversear. In some books written as Congconna etc (http://books.google.ca/books?id=sx1uAAAAMAAJ&q=Kankanama&dq=Kankanama&hl=en&ei=yiv4Tam8AerYiAKjkuT9DA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CE4Q6AEwCDgU) Knox’s book ‘An historic relation….’

2 Eugene Goonetilleke – Was an Ayurvedic Physician. He had more than 400 ancient Olas with ancient medicine practices (ingredients, the Buddhist prayers that were to be said while making it etc.). He was a catholic, so he came up with Christian prayers instead of the chants. He found out that these chants had to do with timing of the preparation. So, he replaced in his practice with his own Catholic prayers. He donated all the Olas to the Ayurvedic Organization (at his death?). He never married as the practice required. And he did not charge people. There was a land that came with this ancient practice, and that land paid for his upkeep. From ancient times that land was given to the next person, and the next that practiced this profession. (Celibacy was required for some reason). [The land in Negombo is called Kirimetiyana or Kirimetiyagara, closer to the Kocchikade and Wennappuwa areas (???)
