I started Pakistan Genealogy Resource - http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pakwgw/ but, due to lack of time, I am now slowing uploading most of that information onto this site instead.

My contributions are related to areas which now fall in Pakistan.

My Library

The following are books, gazetteers, reports from my personal library. Since I have not been able to review them, I cannot add them to the other section of this website, therefore for now, I am listing them here. If the actual version in available online, I have linked it.
