Majithia family

The Majithia family, are a family of Shergill Jat sardars (chiefs) that originate from the region of Majitha in the Punjab.

One had to go back fourteen generations from their generation to find a common relation between Surat Singh and the other two branches.

[3] An early ancestor of the family was Madho, a Jat of the Gill clan, which the Sher-Gill clan is a derivative of.

[4][5] He founded the village of Madho-Jetha, later known as Majitha.

[6][7] Lepel H. Griffin in his work, Panjab Chiefs (1865), states that the Majithia family is the progeny of a certain Rana Dhar, who was the son of Sher-Gil (founder of the clan).
