This is the actual paper on which I wrote down the information dictated
to me by my father, Haj Nu’man, about my large family – both
close and far relatives. You will notice that women’s names are
mentioned. This is rare because women’s names are not usually noted
in family trees and genealogical lists. You can see that the names of
the women are complete – so, for example, there is Qamriya Bint
(the daughter of) Ibrahim Abdul Wahid and Samiya Bint Haj Mohammed. There
is also the story of Haj Mohammed. He went as a pilgrim to Mecca with
7 other people from Al A’dhamiya (an old district of Baghdad).
This was in 1903. There are nice detailed descriptions of the trip
to Mecca.
KHALED NU’MAN, born

He last visited Iraq in 1976
