Our
Purpose The site has been created
as a free service for those, irrespective of nationality,
who lived and worked in North East India in the Tea industry,
Ferry Service, Oil Industry, ITA administration, ITA Research
Station at Tocklai,etc. The resourceful people included
Planters, Engineers, Agronomists, Accountants, Scientists
Administrators, Aircraft Operators, Doctors, Nurses, and
many others. These lucky people are now mainly retired
and living in various parts of the world. It is hoped that
this website will offer a trip down memory lane and facilitate
communication between these people, their friends and family.
Today there are a large number of children who were born
in N.E. India and have a strong interest in the place
of their birth. We hope to encourage that interest.

Researching
Old Relatives in India ?
For those who are researching the past and need
information on relatives who lived and worked in India there
is a very helpful service available. This is the India
Office at the British Library located at 96 Euston Road, St
Pancras, London NW1 2DB.
In particular they have copies of the annual Thacker’s
Directories. These directories contain a wealth of
information.
However
if some researcher cannot visit the library in person the
Editor of www.koi-hai.com
may be able to put that person in contact with a service
that will do that research for a fee. The e-mail address for
the Editor is editorkoihai@aol.com
