The family of Modibbo Girei
Who we are, where the line begins, and how this record is kept.
Origins
Where the family begins, and who Modibbo Girei was. This is the one section nobody outside the family can write — it should come from whoever holds the oral history.
The line
The record begins with Abdurrahman Abubakar, the earliest member with no recorded parents, and follows his descendants down through every generation the family has documented.

How this record is kept
The family tree is maintained through a private administrators’ portal. Each administrator is responsible for one branch of the family: a Sub Family Admin looks after everyone who shares their father, and a Sub Family Unit Admin after those who share their father and mother. Corrections come from the people closest to the records they describe.
Names, parents, generations and the shape of the tree are public. Towns of residence, exact dates and biographies are shown only to signed-in family members. Financial contributions are never published.
