Tuticorin


I'm just back from an incredible journey to the deep south of India. This is a watercolour of what was my grandparent's house 'Jeyagiri' in Tuticorin. Joseph Louis Corera and Annie Corera lived here with their family (including my mom!) from 1938 to 1953 before they moved to Bangalore.

Good Morning Prash

I am writing to say hello to what I am hoping if I am correct, to a family relative. My mother, Imelda, was Joseph's youngest sister (of 18 children!!) She never stopped loving and talking about her Joseph Anna. She loved him deeply and was utterly devastated when he passed away all those years ago. The reason for my making contact is, I am desperate to visit my mamma's birthplace and the area where she and her numerous siblings were raised. Would you have an address for me and somewhere where I can start my search please? I am hoping to visit in July this year. I look forward to your response. Warm regards, Jeanne
