Greetings and welcome to the Genealogies of Katel website that was created by a group of Katel descendents from Bhutan, Nepal, India, this country, Canada, and Australia. The website intends to become an authoritative place for katels to discover our common ancestors as well as our culture and heritage that originate from the foothills of the Himalayas.

The purpose of this website is to facilitate a collaborative effort that can help anyone who is or believes to be a descendant of Katel - either current, recent, or past - identify their ancestors from Nepal and Bhutan. You are invited both to find your connection and to discover new information in this thoroughly researched genealogical tree, but perhaps even more importantly to SHARE your personal research with us. To that end, we intend to make it an authoritative source of information on Katel Families scattered throughout the world.

Last Name Variation!

Katel is also written as Kattel, and we can see both variations reflected in the devanagari script as well (कटेल , कट्टेल).

Our ancestors pioneered in the Land of Gurkhas in the mid-1850s. This site is dedicated to them as well as to their descendants who settled along the foothills of the Himalayas and then migrated to the Great Plains of India, as well as to the descendants who moved to Bhutan, the newly opened land of great opportunity.
