There must be others like me whose roots are across the border. That is why I have decided to open a new thread where people like myself can exchange notes about our root-places especially if they are across the border. Mine is "Chak Bamu" in Dasua Mandal, Jallandhar, Indian Punjab.
If anyone remembers my introduction on the forum, or wonders about the meaning of my forum name, they would realize that my ancestral roots are across the border in Indian Punjab; specifically Jallandhar Doab.

I had an idea to start this thread because @Butchcassidy wished to confirm if I had a connection with Chak Bamu (and indeed I do). But I felt that an Off-Topic conversation was not the right thing to do, and he as yet does not have privileges to use PM function. Therefore the only possible route was to open a thread.
But this thread can mean so much if:
1. One has roots from across the brother and one wishes to talk about it; like myself.
2. Someone could be familiar with such places and might wish to help in bringing such a place to life for another who happens to live across the border; like @Butchcassidy.
3. This helps place a person's background in context while discussing relevant issues.
4. People could just use this thread to socialize.
Now, please please please, pretty pretty please, do NOT make this a troll thread.
If some forum-member has parents / grand parents who have a connection with Lahore, or some place close to it, I can help them find more about it.
