I was given inaccurate information before, but I have been doing some research and I come up with this for my daughter. First one is father, the second one is mother. And the assumption is that the child is mostly raised under the father's tribe.
Serer + Serer, Wolof + Serer
Serer + Wolof
Serer
This side is mostly lived in Senegal.
Fula + Fula, Wolof + Wolof
Fula + Wolof
Fula
And this side is Gambian.
Yes my daughter's mother side is mixed of Serer, Wolof and Fula. That was interesting. Next time I will try finding out older. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find the birth registration info.

diaspora! Too many Chiefs and Very Few Indians.
Halifa Salah: PDOIS is however realistic. It is fully aware that the Gambian voters are yet to reach a level of political consciousness that they rely on to vote on the basis of Principles, policies and programmes and practices. |

Turk, I see a business opportunity for you here, you have done a lot of research into your family,this " Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find the birth registration info." the Toubab has an easier time because even from very early times information was WRITTEN down and the RECORD STORED,this system does not apply to MOST of Africa where ORAL HISTORY kept by the elders is the store, you could well do family research for other people from Africa as you know how to do it.

| Hmmm. Go talk to Ebrima Jallow and ask her about his father and mother. Their names. Also ask his grand parents, their name. Also ask their tribe. Than go to Isatou Bah. Ask same questions. If you can talk to her parents and grand parents, ask them about their parents, name and tribe. Capish? |

Just what I was wrote ORAL history,no problem with that EXCEPT it does tend to get degraded by constant telling and sometimes OLD people forget OR get things WRONG,OR want to embellish a particular person,you write about tribes,not villages or specific locations, its all too general and up in the air your way turk,sorry, with proper records its written down OFFICIALLY at the TIME and STORED therefore ACCURATE. "Capish?"

Of course you will and the same result will apply if you are an African ,in this case the Toubab is right and the Oral history way is ineffective,interesting,useful and specific information was never collected for use later,stories are great and well worth listening to but in this case do not do the job. |

Toubab
You are right? Who did claim oral history is the good way and it is effective and good way of learning specific information? Whom are you debating about Oral history? Yourself? Stop playing with yourself? Obviously it became your habit satisfy yourself frequenlty and now you are getting some sicko pleasure of intellectual orgasm. Like I said stop playing with yourself and stop making unnecessary noise.
OK. Funny, I relied on 'oral history' 5 generations for my ancestory. Can I ask you something? Did you go to registration office to learn who your father, mother, maternal grandmother, maternal grand father, paternal grandfather, paternal grandmother are. Did you ask registrar where your father is coming from, village etc. Did you ask registrar what your father ethnicity...Did you ask registrar what your father's name. Or you relied of oral history? Geeezzzz. Stop polluting.

There you go again turk nit picking,basically saying that the way Africans do things is the best way, I pointed out that that is not so,because of ORAL history which is unreliable,you then respond with this total stream of abuse because you are shown NOT to be correct in everything that you do or write, "OK. Funny, I relied on 'oral history' 5 generations for my ancestory. " that you did and for the reasons I have written previously that is unreliable,the TOUBAB way is reliable in this instance,you better go and have a sleep before you have a heart attack ,due to the fact that YOUR "intellectual orgasm." has not been fulfilling. |
