Hello Sanjay,
Gohil and Gohel are the same. People write it either way. It is possible that your family settled near Baroda many centuries ago, having migrated from Gohilwad in Saurashtra or from Rajpipla.

Hello. I’m contacting you from Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, USA. I don’t know if this is the correct forum to do this but we are trying to use an image that we believe is held in the private collections of Prince Indra Vikram Singh and need to obtain proper permissions. Can you assist me with this?
Hello Kealy, Nice to hear from you. Which image would you like to use? You could write to me on teddy.rajpipla@gmail.com. Regards, Indra Vikram Singh
Hello Sir – Can you let me know if you are the same Vikram Singh who promoted cultural exchanges in 1983. Specifically Uriah Heep concerts in Mumbai, Goa, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai? Apologies if I am mistaken but I thought I recognised you. I worked for Uriah Heep. Yours Sincerely
