I know my mum's on both sides of her family. I know some of the ayeeyos (abooto) but not as many as 5. You're amazing for knowing that many.
I wish I could know more my grandmother was orphaned.
Tbh,I don't even know or care about my abtirsi but I keep track of all my ayeeyos on each side and their names and stories. I find it more interesting and you can find out a lot about somalia's history that way.
Even though my sub sub clan traditionally only marry each other I have every combination, in my recent history with ancestors from North, central and south somalia.
@SOMACOON I mean the names of your maternal ancestors.
