You kinow Venantius, Kamat was spelt as Camotim or
Kamot. There are the Poi Raiturkars too. Maybe names
change as per convinience, but in my opinion if land
has been registered in those names it would be quite
difficult to change these names as when it pleases a
person, if I am not mistaken it needs to be changed in
Court.
Warm wishes,
Sonia
