In this post I said I wanted to draw my family tree. I have progressed a little and gotten information that I would like to share. I will continue to update as and when I know more.

Everything random... At 3am 😊
These are unedited versions of my thoughts straight from the mind, a relieve from the ‘pressure cooker’, snippets and flotsam of a mundane existence, collected over time, at the early morning hours at sunrise. I have no intensions to start a self-help group or a forum for complains!

At least for my grandfather and step grandma, it is easy. Beyond that, there might not be much. I don’t think we are a warrior clan or anything of the sort. So it will not be interesting, I think

What sources are you using, Mak – family recollections, clan oral history, official documents which presumably don’t go back very far?

More information would be great.
That’s one thing the morons are very into…..genealogy. In my case, my grandfather, & his siblings, & his father kept diaries, which my grandmother had made into a book.

Fascinating project! If we could trace our histories back far enough, we might discover that our ancestors once traded a camel for a woman or some other thing – lol!
