A couple of years ago, me and my brother embarked on a project to publish a family tree book of our ancestor. The back bone of the contents was already there done by our father who made a remarkable research of our family roots stretching over 8 generations. Nonetheless to make it up-to-date and inclusive, we had to retraced it back with those who were still living. In the end it captured about 600 names and biographies of the key figures, the ten persons who are the siblings of our great grand father.
In it we also narrated the history, the economic and social progress of the village where generation after generation of the families lived. Amongst the many photos encapsulated in the book is this one of the first mosque built in the village back in 1929. The publication luckily got finished just a few days before a grand family reunion at ICC. Hopefully it will remain a great reference book and a medium of binding our families together.
