Claim record · DOS-I.1b

The family’s lineage name is Sandhu

B Well supported Life

The family’s actual lineage name is Sandhu — they are Sandhu Jat Sikhs. His descendants carry Sandhu; his son used Samundri. Both names are historically correct, from different logics.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Well supported — permits.
