What happened today is like unbelievable.
I wanted to update the storytelling section of this website with a family story.
While doing it I felt the impulse to Google my greatgrandfather’s name. He was the founder of a Senegalese village and a well known Koran reader in the Sine Saloum area in Senegal.
I didn’t think I’d find any extra information on internet, so great was the suprise when I discovered his name on LinkedIn (and more surprising: his picture, a picture wit his two wifes next to him!!!see under) on the same LinkedIn profile (!!!)
My father was born in 1932 so my greatgrandfather, who was his grandfather, must have been born before 1900…
So…
Who has put my grandfather on LinkedIn?
Well… I’ve made a connection, and am impatiently waiting on an answer.
I write this blog in English in case this person Googles me…
What a story!
A story to tell?
The picture of my greatgrandfather Sambou Sarr and two of his wives, one might be my greatgrandmother Penda Fadeh
