Remember, the Sunderji and Hansraj were named Adam and Taj Mohammed. The two sons of Adam, Markun Seth (Ruknuddin) and Juma, migrated to Cutch with his colleagues, where more Lohanas families embraced Islam. Kanya Seth the son of Markun Seth became the leader of Cuchi Memon community. Moosa and Thara were two sons of Juma. Moosa, with his two sons Bawa and Rehman, moved to Jamnagar (Kathiwar). Bawa is still counted as the grandfather of Bawany families. While Juma’s name is listed in the book Memons of Jetpur, it is not definite that he was the great grandfather of Moton’s families. The genealogy of Moton’s is something like this:

Anyone who reads this book should be able to calculate his or her ancestry with little research. For the sake of simplicity, I started with Ghani and assigned him number 1, as the top root for all of us Motons. Every descendant of Ghani likewise has a number.  Let me show you using my example: My name is Anwar Mohammad AbdulKarim Kassim Ayub Ghani so my number will be:

1-1-1-1-6-1

The first 1 represents Ghani. The next 1 represents Ghani’s first son Ayub, and the next 1 represents Ayub’s first son Kasim. The next 1 down represents Kasim’s first son Karim, and the next 6 represents Karim’s sixth son Mohammad. The last 1 represents Mohammad’s first son Anwar; that’s me. After determining your number from this chart, you can send me your number, and I will be able to put it in the genealogy table of Motons. I will draw a basic chart from the above family history that I know of: (just very few families)
