Some history:
Two forebears (Schreyvogel & Jones) were missionaries to India in early 1800s. Both are buried within Christ Church (now dilapidated I hear) at Cuddalore. Jones was the son-in-law of Schreyvogel. There is a book called 'Land of Tamouls and its Missions'. See bottom of page 177 for information on Screyvogel. There is also an interesting story and connection about the fort at Cuddalore and Yale university. Yale organised the buying of Fort St David at Cuddalore before going off to the US to found the university. Also, there is a possibility that the Rev. Schreyvogel buried Thomas Parry (also buried in the church) of Parry's company and corner fame of Madras. Screyvogel also had a connection with Vestry school in Trichy. See the 'Tree' page for more information.
