Oche ndị okenye

The queue of newcomers and the disputes are decided by the elders. If a letter of yours is waiting,

Ndị okenye na-ekpebi maka ndị a chọrọ ịkpọbata na ihe ndị a na-arụrịta ụka. Ọ bụrụ na akwụkwọ ozi nke gị na-eche,

No letters are waiting. When a member proposes somebody, this is where the letter lands.

Ọ dịghị akwụkwọ ozi na-eche. Mgbe onye òtù kpọbatara mmadụ, ébé a ka akwụkwọ ozi ahụ na-adakwasị.

Each of these is somebody asking to be joined to a place in the record. Two confirmations open it — yours and one other, never the same person twice.

Every question below is worked out from the record itself, and beside each one is the person most likely to know the answer. Close a gap and it leaves this list on its own.

The schema keeps every disputed parentage rather than choosing quietly — the unique rule that binds one father per child exempts disputed edges on purpose. What stands here waits for the elders’ adjudication, and until then both versions are the record.

The groups of the kindred

Òtù dị iche iche nke ụmụnna

A kindred is not only a line of descent. It is the bodies by which that line governs itself — who deliberates, who mediates, who is answerable for what.

Ụmụnna abụghị naanị usoro ọmụmụ. Ọ bụ òtù ndị ahụ usoro ahụ ji achị onwe ya — ndị na-atụle okwu, ndị na-edozi esemokwu, na ihe onye ọ bụla ji n’aka.

← All the groups

← Òtù dị iche iche

${sexes.unknown} of the ${sexes.total} people in the record have no sex written down. They are not counted here. The record says who their father was, not whether they are a son or a daughter, and the platform will not guess from a name.

E deghị ma mmadụ ${sexes.unknown} n’ime mmadụ ${sexes.total} nọ n’akwụkwọ ndekọ bụ nwoke ma ọ bụ nwanyị. A gụghị ha ọnụ ébé a. Akwụkwọ ndekọ na-ekwu onye bụ nna ha, ọ naghị ekwu ma ha bụ nwa nwoke ma ọ bụ nwa nwanyị; ébé a agaghịkwa eji aha mmadụ chee ya.

Not one daughter is recorded in this kindred.

Ọ dịghị otu nwa nwanyị e dekọrọ n’ụmụnna a.

The 2015 document names ${sexes.total - sexes.unknown} people by sex, and every one of them is a son.

Akwụkwọ 2015 dere ma mmadụ ${sexes.total - sexes.unknown} bụ nwoke ma ọ bụ nwanyị, onye ọ bụla n’ime ha bụkwa nwa nwoke.

That is a fact about the document, not about the family. Ụmụada exist. They have always existed, they sit in disputes, they come home for burials, and this record simply never wrote their names down — as patrilineal records generally do not.

Nke ahụ bụ ihe banyere akwụkwọ ahụ, ọ bụghị banyere ezinaụlọ. Ụmụada dị. Ha adịla mgbe niile, ha na-anọdụ n’idozi esemokwu, ha na-alọta maka olili, ma akwụkwọ ndekọ a edeghị aha ha ede — dịka akwụkwọ ndị na-eso usoro nna na-emekarị.

The platform will not fill this in by guessing. Sex is never inferred from a name. It stays empty until members of the family give the names, and then it fills the same day.

Ébé a agaghị eji iche eche mejupụta ya. A naghị eji aha mata ma mmadụ bụ nwoke ma ọ bụ nwanyị. Ọ ga-anọgide n’efu ruo mgbe ndị be anyị nyere aha ndị ahụ, mgbe ahụ ọ na-ejupụta n’otu ụbọchị ahụ.

This is the largest gap in the record.

Nke a bụ oghere kachasị ukwuu n’akwụkwọ ndekọ.

Whether this room is yours could not be decided just now — that is a failure of the record’s machinery, not a statement about you. Reload to ask again.

A pụghị ikpebi ugbu a ma ọnụ ụlọ a ọ bụ nke gị — ọ bụ ngwaọrụ akwụkwọ ndekọ dara ada, ọ bụghị okwu banyere gị. Bugharịa ibe a ka a jụọ ọzọ.

If you are reading this and you know the daughters of your father’s house, that is the most valuable thing anybody can bring.

Ọ bụrụ na ị na-agụ nke a ma ị makwa ụmụada nke ụlọ nna gị, nke ahụ bụ ihe kachasị baa uru onye ọ bụla pụrụ iweta.

The rooms are the kindred’s own. Sign in, and the record will know which are yours.

Ọnụ ụlọ ndị a bụ nke ụmụnna. Banye, akwụkwọ ndekọ ga-amata ndị bụ nke gị.

This room is the daughters’ — closed to everyone else, including the elders. That is the kindred’s own rule, and the record keeps it.

Ọnụ ụlọ a bụ nke ụmụada — e mechiri ya nye onye ọ bụla ọzọ, tinyere ndị okenye. Nke ahụ bụ iwu ụmụnna n’onwe ha, akwụkwọ ndekọ na-edobekwa ya.

The wives are named in the record but have no entries of their own — they appear on the marriage and nowhere else, which is why there is no page to open for each of them. Giving them their own records, with their own people and their own line back to their fathers, is work still to be done.

A na-akpọ ndị inyom aha n’akwụkwọ ndekọ ma ha enweghị ndekọ nke aka ha — ha na-apụta naanị n’ébé alụmdi na nwunye, ọ dịghị ébé ọzọ; ọ bụ ya mere na ọ dịghị ibe a na-emeghe maka onye ọ bụla n’ime ha. Inye ha ndekọ nke aka ha, ha na ndị nke ha na usoro ha laghachiri na nna ha, bụ ọrụ ka dị n’ihu.

This room is the men of the line’s. What is spoken in it stays in it.

Ọnụ ụlọ a bụ nke ụmụ nwoke nke usoro a. Ihe e kwuru n’ime ya na-anọ n’ime ya.

This room belongs to its group. If you should be in it, an elder can place you — ask at the next meeting, or write to one.

Those born within a few years of each other, convened as a set, taking a name and a duty — a road kept, a hall built, a masquerade held.

None are recorded yet. An age grade is not something this platform can work out: nobody in the record has a birth year, and in any case a grade is convened and named by the people in it, not calculated. The elders enter them, with the names the family actually uses.

On this page

Ihe dị n’ibe a

This is the record of Umu Gwuanyi Oyi — the kindred of Amama, in Owere Ede-Oballa, Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State. It holds the family line from Areji Amoke, who founded Amama, down to the children being born today.

Nke a bụ akwụkwọ ndekọ nke Ụmụ Gwuanyi Oyi — ụmụnna Amama, dị n’Owere Ede-Oballa, n’ọchịchị ime obodo Nsukka, na Steeti Enugu. Ọ na-ebu usoro ọmụmụ ezinaụlọ site n’Areji Amoke, onye tọrọ ntọala Amama, ruo n’ụmụaka a na-amụ taa.

It is here so that the family can see itself: so a child can find their own name and walk upward to the founder, so any member can work out exactly how they are related to another, so newborns and elders can be entered into the line, and so those living far from the village are still part of it.

Ọ dị ébé a ka ezinaụlọ wee hụ onwe ya: ka nwata chọta aha nke ya rịgoruo onye tọrọ ntọala, ka onye ọ bụla nọ n’ime ya chọpụta nke ọma ihe ya na onye ọzọ bụ nye ibe ha, ka a na-edekọ ụmụ ọhụrụ na ndị okenye n’usoro ahụ, na ka ndị bi ebe dị anya site n’obodo bụrụkwa akụkụ ya.

The Igbo on this page is to be read and corrected by the elders before it is settled.

Ndị okenye ga-agụ Igbo dị n’ibe a ma dozie ya tupu e kwubie ya.

The family history was written down by hand in 2015, because the kindred were afraid of losing it. Everything in this platform begins from that document. It was already incomplete when it was written — names not yet received, entries left blank, twins recorded without their names.

E ji aka dee akụkọ ezinaụlọ n’afọ 2015, n’ihi na ụmụnna tụrụ egwu na ọ ga-efunahụ ha. Ihe niile dị n’ébé a na-amalite site n’akwụkwọ ahụ. Ọ zubeghị ezu mgbe e dere ya — aha ndị a natabeghị, ebe ndị e hapụrụ efu, ejima ndị e dekọrọ n’enweghị aha ha.

Those gaps have been kept exactly as they are. Nothing has been tidied away, guessed at, or quietly filled in. Where the record disagrees with itself, both versions are held and noted, for the elders to settle. A gap that is visible can be filled by the family; a gap that has been papered over is lost for good.

E debere oghere ndị ahụ kpọmkwem ka ha si dị. Ọ dịghị ihe e kpochapụrụ, ọ dịghị ihe e tinyere n’atụmatụ, ọ dịghịkwa ihe e ji nzuzo mejupụta. Ebe akwụkwọ ndekọ na-ekwu ihe abụọ na-emegiderịta onwe ha, e jidere ma dee ha abụọ, ka ndị okenye kwubie ya. Oghere a na-ahụ anya ka ezinaụlọ pụrụ imechi; oghere e kpuchiri ekpuchi efuola ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.

The knowledge in this platform is not the developer’s. It belongs to the men who carried it and gave it to be written down. Their names belong beside their knowledge.

Ihe ọmụma dị n’ébé a abụghị nke onye ruru ya. Ọ bụ nke ndị nwoke buru ya ma nye ya ka e dee ya. Aha ha kwesịrị ịdị n’akụkụ ihe ọmụma ha.

The record was gathered from them and set down here so that it would not remain on paper alone. Paper fades, and the memory it depends on goes with the people who hold it.

E si n’aka ha chịkọta akwụkwọ ndekọ a ma debe ya ébé a ka ọ ghara ịdịgide naanị n’akwụkwọ. Akwụkwọ na-ekpochapụ, ncheta ọ dabere na ya na-esokwa ndị ji ya laa.

The record belongs to Umu Gwuanyi Oyi. It is the community’s history, held in the community’s hands, and it is portable —

Akwụkwọ ndekọ a bụ nke Ụmụ Gwuanyi Oyi. Ọ bụ akụkọ ihe mere eme nke obodo, nke dị n’aka obodo, ọ bụkwa ihe e nwere ike ibugharị —

the kindred can take all of it away

at any time and is never hostage to any platform, including this one.

mgbe ọ bụla, ọ dịghịkwa ébé ọ bụla na-ejide ya n’aka, gụnyere ébé a.

Living members’ details are visible only to verified, logged-in kin. Children’s records are never published, never indexed by search engines, and never carry contact details. The full tree is never exposed to strangers.

Naanị ndị òtù e kwadoro banyere na ébé a na-ahụ ihe ndekọ ndị dị ndụ. A naghị ebipụta ndekọ ụmụaka, a naghịkwa edekọ ha n’ebe ọchụchọ ịntanetị, ha anaghịkwa ebu ụzọ ọ bụla a ga-esi kpọtụrụ ha. A naghị egosi ndị ọbịa usoro ọmụmụ ahụ dum.

Any member may ask for their own record to be corrected. Changes to the lineage itself are approved by the elders, never applied silently, and every change is written permanently to an audit log that no one — not even an administrator — can edit or delete.

Onye ọ bụla nọ n’ime ya nwere ike ịrịọ ka e dozie ndekọ nke ya. Ndị okenye na-akwado mgbanwe ọ bụla e mere n’usoro ọmụmụ; a naghị etinye ya na nzuzo, a na-edekwa mgbanwe ọ bụla ruo mgbe ebighị ebi n’akwụkwọ nlekọta nke ọ dịghị onye — ọbụna onye nlekọta — pụrụ ịgbanwe ma ọ bụ ihichapụ.

This is not the whole family.

Nke a abụghị ezinaụlọ niile.

What is here is the 2015 document as it was written, and that document was already incomplete on the day it was finished. Whole households are still to be entered. Many living members are not in it yet — the man who built this platform is not in it yet.

Ihe dị ébé a bụ akwụkwọ 2015 ka e dere ya, akwụkwọ ahụ ezubekwaghị ezu n’ụbọchị e mechara ya. Ezinaụlọ zuru ezu ka a ga-edekọ. Ọtụtụ ndị dị ndụ adịbeghị n’ime ya — nwoke ruru ébé a adịbeghị n’ime ya.

Any number shown anywhere on this platform is what has been recorded so far. It is a floor, never a total, and it should rise every time a member is added.

Ọnụọgụgụ ọ bụla e gosiri ébé ọ bụla n’ébé a bụ ihe e dekọrọla ruo ugbu a. Ọ bụ ọnụọgụgụ kacha nta, ọ bụghị mkpokọta zuru ezu, ọ kwesịkwara ịrị elu mgbe ọ bụla e tinyere onye ọzọ.

Names are missing, dates are unknown, and for many people the record does not say whether they are living or late. Those gaps are listed openly inside the platform rather than hidden, so the family can close them.

Aha ụfọdụ adịghị, a maghị ụbọchị ụfọdụ, ọtụtụ mmadụ dịkwa ndị akwụkwọ ndekọ na-ekwughị ma ha dị ndụ ma ọ bụ ha alarala mmụọ. E depụtara oghere ndị ahụ n’ihu ọha n’ime ébé a kama izo ha, ka ezinaụlọ wee mechie ha.

If you know something that is not here — a name, a date, a mother’s house, a story — bring it. That is how the record stays alive.

Ọ bụrụ na ị maara ihe na-adịghị ébé a — aha, ụbọchị, ụlọ nne, akụkọ — weta ya. Otú ahụ ka akwụkwọ ndekọ si adị ndụ.

This platform was built by

Ọ bụ

, nwa Ụmụ Gwuanyi Oyi, ruru weebụsaịtị a.

He is a software engineer and the founder of Henry Onyx Limited, a multi-division company he built in-house — writing the code himself rather than commissioning it. That same hand built this platform.

Ọ bụ onye injinia sọftwịa, ọ bụkwa onye tọrọ ntọala Henry Onyx Limited, ụlọ ọrụ nwere ọtụtụ ngalaba nke o wuru n’ime ụlọ — ọ bụ ya onwe ya dere koodu ya kama inyefe ya onye ọzọ. Otu aka ahụ ruru ébé a.

It was not a commission. The kindred asked for something to hold the family together, and he took it up as a duty owed to his own people. The family record had been written by hand in 2015 and had begun to fade at the edges — names not yet received, entries left blank, knowledge held only in the memory of elders. This platform exists so that what has been carried for six generations is not lost in the seventh.

Ọ bụghị ọrụ e goro ya. Ụmụnna rịọrọ ihe ga-ejikọta ezinaụlọ ọnụ, o wee were ya dịka ọrụ o ji ndị be ya.

The record here belongs to Umu Gwuanyi Oyi. It is the community’s history, held in the community’s hands. He built the place to keep it.

The record marks 38 people as late, but holds nothing about them beyond that — no date, no place, no words. Recording a death here also settles the person’s standing in the lineage, so the platform stops asking whether they are living.

Signing in proves an email or a phone — not a lineage. Once the elders confirm who you are, this page takes your letters.

A map brings a traveller as far as Ede-Oballa. The last quarter mile is asked for, and what you ask for is a landmark somebody has to have told you. This is that.

Where the family lives stays in the family

Ebe ezinaụlọ bi na-anọgide n’ime ezinaụlọ

This page says where living members of the kindred sleep. Inside Amama that is common knowledge; putting it where anybody can read it is a different thing entirely, so it is shown to verified members and to nobody else.

Ibe a na-ekwu ebe ndị ụmụnna dị ndụ na-ehi ụra. N’ime Amama, ọ bụ ihe onye ọ bụla maara; itinye ya ebe onye ọ bụla ga-agụ ya bụ ihe dị iche kpamkpam, ya mere ọ bụ naanị ndị òtù e kwadoro na-ahụ ya.

What the elders say

Ihe ndị okenye na-ekwu

The names in this record can be recovered from paper and from anyone who remembers. A voice cannot. When an old man dies with an account nobody wrote down, it is not mislaid — it is finished.

A pụrụ isite n’akwụkwọ na n’ọnụ ndị na-echeta weghachite aha ndị dị n’akwụkwọ ndekọ a. Olu — a pụghị iweghachite ya. Mgbe okenye ji akụkọ ọ dịghị onye dere ede lara mmụọ, ọ bụghị ihe furu efu — ọ gwụla.

Nothing has been recorded yet.

E dekọbeghị ihe ọ bụla.

This is the emptiest and most urgent part of the platform. The lineage will still be here next year. The people who can explain it may not.

Ébé a bụ akụkụ kacha tọgbọrọ n’efu, bụrụkwa nke kacha adị oke mkpa n’ébé a niile. Usoro ọmụmụ ga-adịgide ruo afọ ọzọ. Ndị pụrụ ịkọwa ya — o nwere ike ha agaghị adịgide.

It does not need to be formal. A phone on a table while an uncle explains why a compound was divided the way it was is worth more than anything written afterwards from memory.

You are almost certainly already here. The kindred wrote its line down in 2015, and 265 people are in it. This is not about adding you — it is about joining your account to the place that is already yours.

What signing in does, and does not do

Ihe ịbanye na-eme, na ihe ọ na-adịghị eme

Signing in proves you hold that phone or that email. It does not prove who you are in this family, so it does not yet open the record.

Ịbanye na-egosi na ekwentị ahụ ma ọ bụ email ahụ bụ nke gị. Ọ naghị egosi onye ị bụ n’ezinaụlọ a, ya mere ọ meghebeghị akwụkwọ ndekọ.

The kindred verifies its own. An elder and the head of your branch confirm your place in the line, and the living members of the family become visible to you then — not before.

What to ask, before it goes

Ihe ị ga-ajụ, tupu ọ laa

A lineage can be rebuilt from documents and from anybody who remembers. But the way one particular old man says one particular proverb exists nowhere else. When he goes, it is gone.

What the record wants, and from whom

Ihe akwụkwọ ndekọ chọrọ n’aka mmadụ

The record knows what it is missing and who is most likely to know. These name living people, so only the family sees them.

Show the elders who you are

Gosi ndị okenye onye ị bụ

How are we related?

Gịnị ka anyị bụ nye ibe anyị?

Choose two people and the record will say exactly how they stand to one another — in plain words, in English, and in the word the elders use.

The lines are kept for the family

E debere usoro ọmụmụ maka ezinaụlọ

Tracing a relationship means walking father to father through the whole record, and who descends from whom is shown to verified members of the kindred. The names above are public; the descent is not.

Ịchọpụta ihe mmadụ abụọ bụ nye ibe ha bụ ịgafe akwụkwọ ndekọ dum site na nna ruo na nna; onye si n’onye pụta bụ ihe a na-egosi naanị ndị òtù e kwadoro n’ụmụnna. Aha ndị dị n’elu bụ ihe onye ọ bụla pụrụ ịhụ; usoro ọmụmụ abụghị.

Every person here descends from Areji Amoke, so there is an answer for any two people in the record — this page simply is not able to give it to you yet.

This kindred is spread across Nigeria and well beyond it, and the record holds none of it. Once cities are entered, a member in London will be able to see who else is in London — which is the part of this that is actually worth having.

Every Igbo sentence here — all ${all.length} of them — was written by software. No native speaker has read them through. That is the one thing this record is still waiting for.
