About the Sherpa Tribal Family Tree
“This project began with my father’s words in 1989—reminding me how important it is to know our roots. Inspired by the efforts of others and driven by the desire to preserve our identity, I created this page to document the stories, names, and connections that make up our Sherpa heritage.

It’s not just a family tree—it’s a living archive of who we are, where we come from, and how we’re all connected. I invite everyone to explore, contribute, and help keep our history alive for future generations.”
