The Kallarackal Kadavil Family has made a study of the history of their family and the root family in the years AD 1950-54 and published their first history book on 16th July 1955, under the leader ship of Rev. Fr. Valiyamathan Kathanar.
It is understood that the 1st generation Vareeth (AD 1674-749 ) of the Kallarackal Kadavil Family had two sons named Varkey (AD 1700-7900 and Chacko ( AD 1717-795).
