Thankyou HH and Sunder for your replies.
I will ask around and gather more details when I go to India the next time around. All I know at this time is that our gotra is Kashyapa, we are somehow called Gaud (sp?) brahmins (ie the ones who didnt attend Sri Rama's celebrations on his victory over Ravana as Ravana was a brahmin and were supposedly cursed by Sri Rama) and we are decendants of Acharya Sri Hit Hari Vansh Goswami - could never figure out how all that was related to Kashyapa gotra. Thanks for your replies, guroos - you guys are tremendous assets at IF .. <!--emo&
