About Tanwi Family

The information in this chart is based on methods of continuous biopsychosocial aspects of medical research going back from the 1850's till present. It contains with reasonable accuracy, the descendants of Bah Mugwam. We started creating this chart from his most prominent known son, Bah Tanwi. Bah Mugwam was an aristocratic Prince, having been the son of The Fon  (Monarch) of Greater Guneku in today's Momo Division (capital Mbengwi) located in the North West Region (capital Bamenda) of Cameroon. The information has been set up in a manner that periodic updates of further generations and other necessary, authenticated information can be added.

We have assigned IDs that can be used to track members across pages of charts. These IDs are easy to create and assign and they are used to trace what part of the tree individuals descend from. This is the format of the ID: Gen#-Wife#-Father#-Your#

Bah Tanwi had 9 wives, so the ID is used to track descendants from each wife as follows: 

Gen#:This is the GENERATION Number of the individual. Since We started with Bah Tanwi as 0(zero) for the GENERATION Number, those before him like his father Bah Mugwam have -1 (minus 1) for the GENERATION Number. We don't have any information about his mother and we know that he was one of Bah Mugwam's children (to whom we have assigned the position  1). His ID is therefore 0-0-2-1.

Gen      #:1-XX GENERATIONS after Bah Tanwi starting at 1 to XX / infinity or when all the surname carriers (males) pass away.

Wife    #:1-9 Bah Tanwi had 9 wives.

Father  #:1-YY The male child's chronological birth position (1st or 5th child)

Your    #:1-ZZ Your chronological position (by birth among your siblings).
