Collaparambil (Kollaparambil/Kollaparampil/Collaparampil)
Collaparambil/Kollaparambil is a famous and ancient Christian family from Kerala, India. The family follows the famous Syrian Christian tradition and are considered to be the successors of the early Christian converts having roots back to AD 52, when St.Thomas believed to be in Kerala during his mission tour.

Although the family members are spread across Kerala and even abroad, they predominantly located in Kottayam and adjoining districts, in Kerala.

The ancestors were migrated to Kottayam during the reign of Thekkumkoor Maharaja(AD.1550)who had their head quarters at Thazhathangadi in the present Kottayam town. They were members of the Kottayam Cheria Pally (St. Mary's church).

The intention behind this initiative is to collate as much information about the family, its members and their whereabouts. This will help to index the history and events related to the family and that could eventually lead to structure a family tree.

We are at a time when more and more people are travelling or migrating to the wider extend of this world in search of new opportunities, better living standards, and education. This accelerates the family detachment that has already been suffering from the nuclear family concepts. The greatest challenge the migrant population faces in a new country is the identity crisis. Often the new generation is forced to get fused to the society and culture to which they have been adopted to. Hope this will help the new generation to understand their origin, identity, tradition and values when facing new challenges. With the fast growing advancement in communication technologies, the family members will once again be able to connect each other and renew the family bonds. This throws open enormous opportunity for the members to help and care for each other.

"Psalms.133 Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head,running down upon the beard,upon the beard of Aaron,running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon,which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the LORD has commanded the blessing,life for evermore."''
