Family tree of Nehru -Gandhi
Raj Kaul (early 1700s) a Kashmiri Pandit, he is the earliest recorded ancestor of the Nehru-Gandhi family. He is believed to have migrated from Kashmir to Delhi in 1716 AD. A Jagir with a house
situated on the banks of a canal was granted to Raj Kaul, and, from the fact of this residence, 'Nehru' (from Nahar, a canal) came to be attached to his name. Kaul was the original family name; this changed to Kaul-Nehru; and, in later years, Kaul was dropped out and the family name became only "Nehru".
