Kursinama
A Kursinama, also known as a Bansavalinama, is a type of genealogical-pedigree or family-tree found in the Indian subcontinent. Kursinamas can be described as an extended-genealogy of a family. The term can also be used to describe the religious lineage of a particular sect. Shajra documents often contain kursinamas to track the patrilineal descent of land-owners of a particular area. Kursinamas are also compiled by Adivasi groups, such as the Munda.
