    Conclusion:

    I am Joseph Padannamakkel the owner of this web page.I have tried my best to confirm all information posted but to err is human. I would like to thank those that gave me family information and helped me along the way. It all starts with two dedicated family members, Rev. Fr. Ivans, CMI and Rev.FR. JACOB T. VETTATHU, MS.. They did most of their research. To them, I owe a great deal of thanks for opening the door to looking at ancestral background. I am proud of Vettathu family heritage and I have tried to pass this on to my children. Family children, look to see if you inherited Great-great Grandpa 's bald spot.
