The ancestral home of Vengal family is situated in erstwhile princely state Central Travancore where Pamba River and Manimala River meets together at Nedumpuram. Nedumpuram is an ancient and famous village in the Taluk of Thiruvalla, Kerala well known for snake boat race "Neeratupuram Vallamkali"  and paddy fields which is a part Kuttanad, the "Rice Bowl of Kerala".

According to history, Vengasseril  Illam (വേങ്ങശ്ശേരിൽ ഇല്ലം) at Palayur, Thrisshur is the root family for Vengal family. Over the decades, Vengasseril was shorted to form 'Vengal' (വേങ്ങൽ) . Our ancestors also adopted Christianity from St.Thomas Apostle of Jesus Christ during the period A.D. 52-54. In A.D.1695 there were lot of problems faced by Malankara Christians from the Portuguese and a lot of Malankara Christians migrated out of Thrissur during that period. Our peace loving and hard working ancestors also migrated from Palayur to Kuruvillangad, Kottayam. During mid A.D 1700's, Sri. Iype, our known first forefather migrated to Nedumpuram Village in Thiruvalla Taluk to take up the job of a Sanskrit Pandit with well known Vaikom illam who used own agricultural properties in Nedumpuram Village.

The members of the Vengal family had signed an agreement on 28th June 1907 at Amichakary Muri in Nedumpuram Village.  As per the agreement, children of all generations born from Shri.KochuIype who by the years have started living separately had decided to meet and grow in unity as per the signed protocol.

The family tree of the Vengal Kudumbam originated from the forefather Sri. Vengal KochuIype and the branches have spread across the world thereon. The universe of Vengal family, cousins and relatives comprises of doctors, engineers, bankers, professors, government officials, architects, management experts, businessmen and other diversified fields.

The members of this illustrative family has been assembling together every year for the over 100 years and we had celebrated our centenary year in 2008 with a public meeting at Thiruvalla.

We, the members of Vengal family are lucky in our parents for the roots have remained firm and continues to grow strong to the next forthcoming generation by the grace of God.
