We have enjoyed these videos of a train ride found on youtube. The people are talking and singing about their land and history. Top video is short 5.5 minutes. The bottom one is longer. Sorry I can't give a translation. If you want to get a feel for travel in India....there are still places like this..... Enjoy!

I will be traveling and visiting India, with my Father. Our primary destination in India is Ranchi, Jharkhand. We will also visit other towns and cities in that north-eastern region as well as other places in India.

Ranchi is the first place where our ancestors lived. When they went to India. They had been there from 1868 - 1915. They were the first generation that we know of that connected us to India. This visit will connect us with the Christians who live there who are the beneficiaries of that early missionary work.

My father and I will be joined by others,including my father's cousin, Wolfram Peetz. He is looking forward to see Purulia where his mother was born.

I am still seeking funding to help with some of the costs related to research. The research is for a historical novel I am writing based on the lives of these anscestors.
