The Ranial rajas of Nambal can trace their ancestry back to the Muslim Janjua Rajpoot's who were a war-like clan and till this day are addressed as raja.

The Ranial Rajput family tree

The Ranial Rajputs are linked ancestrally to the Janjuas through Raja Malu Khan, who was a descendant of Raja Bhir as illustrated below:
