Places and Landmarks
Reference material for anyone tracing a family line, researching the villages, or simply wanting to know how many houses are in Popdi Fadia.
The Fadias
A fadia is a cluster of homes — the lane your family belongs to. Most people from these villages identify by fadia before anything else. If you don't know yours, ask the oldest person in your family before you next visit.
Mor — 29 fadias
