Descendants of Villavaraja Mudaly-5001

Sri Lankan Tamil Family Genealogy

Descendants of Villavaraja Mudaly - Family #5001

The roots of the Villavaraja Mudaly (5001) and Kokuvil Mapana Mudaly (5002) families can be traced back to 1700 AD and can be claimed as authentic as they have been extracted from land titles at the "Kachcheri" in Jaffna before 1983 by Mr. V. Rajaratnam, uncle of Mr. C. Rajadurai of Malaysia, who first compiled the family trees in published them in printed format.

The two lineages became interwoven through marriage and have spread out, not only in numbers, but also in literary, acaddemic, and business through all parts of the globe. The corporate giant of The Maharajah Organization is one that was established by the descendants of this illustrious family.

The venerable lady, Katpagam, married Moothathamby, son of Sinnathamby, (fifth generation in the Villavaraja line) and produced Veeravaghu, Ammakuddy, and Kunchipillai, by her first husband. After the death of her husband she married Mylvaganam (Mylathai) and produced Chellappah, Pillai, Thangam, Subathirai, Sellam, and Seenivasagam.

The Mapana Mudaly line merged into the Villavaraja family when Appapillai and Chinnachi inter-married with Thangam and Chellappah respectively, and again when Sinnathamby married Rasammah, Veeravaghu's eldest daughter.

It is from here that the families have branched off and spread far and wide, within Sri Lanka and across the oceans. A close study reveals not only inter-marriages but also marriages between first cousins. Many young men and women from the clan have found their spouses from other parts of Jaffna and Sri Lanka and some, even from amongst other races.

Five Veeravaghu daughters are all married in Kokuvil and Kondavil while Sellammah is married in Changanal. Sinnathamby worked as a Hospital Assistant in Malaya where the children were all born before returning to Jaffna. The six Sinnathamby children are all maried and have set up their own families. There are two marriages among the first cousins, Thuraisingham (son of Ratnam & Kandiah) married Leela (daughter of Dr. Rajah and Kamala), Rajalakshmi (daughter of Rajendram and Sellam) married Sri Ramanathan (son of Indrani and Thiagarajah). Of the Ponniah children, Paripoornam and family returned to Ceylon from Malaya while Selvaratnam and family remained in Malaya. Of the Annaratnam/Mailvaganam children, the eldest, Rajaratnam is settled in Australia.

Chellappah, eldest son of Mylvaganam (Mylathai) and Katpagam married Sinnachi, sister of Sinnathamby and Appapillai. They had one son, Senathirajah, who served in the Malayan Railway before retiring to Sri Lanka. Ratnamalar, Senathirajah's daughter, married Rajasingham, son of Duraippah of the Appapillai family. They are settled in Madras.

The ancestral home of these families, built by Veeravaghu and Sinnathamby of Kokuvil, and Alagaratnam of Kondavil, were solid edifices that should still be standing as a proud testimony of thei glorious heritage.
