Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilazak :

The Dilazak were an Afghan Pashtun tribe. They descended into the valley of Peshawar, now in Pakistan in Smanyid's dynasty from the Suleman Range, between 750 AD and 850 AD.

They were the first of all Afghans and were Muslims by that time. They expelled or subdued local people of the Swati, Degan and Tirahi castes. By the time of Mehmood Ghaznavi, they had reached the Sind River (also called Abaseen, Neelaab). They participated in Mehmood Ghaznavi's campaigns in large numbers under their leader Malik Yahya.

Later they extended up to present day Hassan Abdal (near Taxila) and towards the north up to Abbott Abad. Around 1520 AD, another Afghan tribe, the Yousafzi, was expelled from Kabul, Afghanistan, by the uncle of Mughal Emperor Zaheeruddin Muhammad Babur, Mirza Ulugh Beg. The Yousafzis migrated to the Peshawar valley and sought help from the Dilazak.

Later on the relationship between the two tribes deteriorated and a long war ensued. Ultimatelythe Yousafzi along with some other tribes (including the Utmanzi, related to the Dilazak) were able to push the Dilazak east of Sind River under their leader Malik Ahmed Khan, after 20 years.

The story of the Dilazak did not end here. The Mughals had fluctuating relations with the Afghans. The Dilazak were on the eastern side of theSind River and thus totally accessible to a properly trained Mughal Army. Around 1607 AD, Mughal Emperor Jahangir (Muhammad Saleem) once visiting Kabul in Afghanistan, left his large army under the command of Zaffar Khan Koka, son of Zain Khan Koka, and ordered him to wipe out the Dilazak and arrest the leaders of the Khattar tribe. Zain Khan Koka complied and deported one hundred thousand families of the Dilazak to Lahore for dispersal in India.

Only a few families of the Dilazak survived. These families still exist. Today they are found in the districts Abbott Abad, Haripur, Charsadda, Swat, Peshawar, of which all are in North West Frontier Province, and Attock, in the Punjab Province. They are in the districts Shahjehan Pur and also in village Shahjahanpur District (Meerut), on Meerut Garh Road (Uttar Pradesh), Jullandhar (Indian Punjab), Bari Town (Rajasthan) and Dilazi and other villages in Andhra Pradesh, Western Bengal and some other regions of India.

PATHANS:

Pashtuns (Pashto/Urdu/Persian: پشتون Paštūn or پختون Paxtūn, also rendered as Pushtuns, Pakhtuns, Pukhtuns), also called Pathans (Urdu: پٹھان, Hindi: पठान Paṭhān) or ethnic Afghans (Pashto: افغان Afğān) are an Eastern Iranian ethno-linguistic group with populations primarily in eastern and southern Afghanistan and in the North-West Frontier Province, Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Balochistan provinces of western Pakistan. The Pashtuns are typically characterized by their Pashto language and the practice of Pashtunwali, which is viewed as a way of living.

Pashtuns have rarely been politically united. Their unified modern past began with the rise of the Durrani Empire in 1747. The Pashtuns in Afghanistan played a pivotal role during the Great Game as they were caught between the imperialist designs of British and Russian empires. During most of modern Afghanistan's history, Pashtuns reigned as the dominant ethnic group, while being amongst the most intransigent tribes that fought British Indian incursions. The Pashtuns gained world-wide attention following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and with the rise and fall of the Taliban, since they were the main ethnic contingent in the movement. Pashtuns are also an important community in Pakistan, where they are the second-largest ethnic group.

The Pashtuns are the world's largest (patriarchal) segmentary lineage ethnic group. The total population of the group is estimated to be at around 40 million, but an accurate count remains elusive due to the nomadic nature of many tribes, the practice of secluding women, and the lack of an official census in Afghanistan since 1979.

The vast majority of Pashtuns can be found in an area stretching from western Pakistan to southwestern Afghanistan. Additional Pashtun communities are found in Northern Areas, Azad Kashmir, and Sindh province of Pakistan as well as throughout Afghanistan. There are smaller communities in Iran, India, and a large migrant-workers community in the countries of the Arabian Peninsula. Important metropolitan centers of Pashtun culture include Peshawar and Kandahar. In addition, Quetta and Kabul are ethnically mixed cities with large Pashtun populations. With 1.5 million ethnic Pashtuns, Karachi is the largest Pashtun city in the world.

Pashtuns comprise over 15.42% of Pakistan's population or 25.6 million people. In Afghanistan, they make up an estimated 42% of the population or 12.5 million people. The exact measure of these figures remains uncertain, particularly those for Afghanistan, and are affected by approximately three million Afghan refugees (of which 81.5% or 2.49 million are ethnic Pashtuns) that remain in Pakistan. An unknown number of refugees continue to reside in Iran. A cumulative population assessment suggests a total of over 40 million across the region.


History and origins

From the 2nd millennium BC to the present, Pashtun regions have seen invasions and migrations including Aryan tribes (Iranian peoples, Indo-Aryans), Medes, Persians, Mauryas, Scythians, Kushans, Hephthalites, Greeks, Arabs, Turks, and Mongols. There are many conflicting theories about the origins of the Pashtun people, some modern and others archaic, both among historians and the Pashtuns themselves.

Pashtuns are also historically referred to as ethnic Afghans, as the terms Pashtun and Afghan were synonymous until the advent of modern Afghanistan and the division of the Pashtuns by the Durand Line which is a border drawn by the British in the late 19th century. According to V. Minorsky, W.K. Frazier Tyler, M.C. Gillet and several other scholars, "The word Afghan first appears in history in the Hudud-al-Alam in 982 CE."[20] It was used by the Pashtuns and refers to a common legendary ancestor known as Afghana

Answer 2

The bulk of the genealogy data on the WWW is about people in the USA and their European ancestors, followed by people in the UK and theirs, and then the Canadians, Australians and Kiwis. There is very little on-line about anyone in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan or the rest of south and central Asia, unless they were from the UK. This isn't fair, but it is how it is right now. At some point in the future, when someone sits down with the Dilazak record keepers and transcribes everything for the Web, there will be more.

Google has 1500+ entries for the words "dilazak pathan" and 2,200 for just "dilazak".

There is a controversial article about the tribe on Wikipedia,
