Who are we?

We are the outcome of a marriage between the Andersson and Bettencourt clans, officially settled on June 3rd 2000. After over 30 years of combined stay in Switzerland, we packed our bags and moved to Bangalore, India, in August 2006

And why is this site called ABBA-Land? ABBA is of course the abbreviation of our surnames Andersson Bettencourt Bettencourt Andersson. Do we need another reason...?
