SOMETHING LIKE THAT

TUNNI CLAN

WHO WAS MY ANCESTOR

CAN YOU HELP ME

[James Dahl]

Well in terms of the traditional genealogies Tunni descend from Digil. I don't know the exact ancestry from Tunni to Digil, but from Digil I do:

Digil Diinsame Umur Sabe Hiil

Hawiye and Dir on the other hand trace also to Hiil through Samaale

For hawiye:
Hawiye Irir Samaale Hiil

and Dir:
Dir Aji Irir Samaale Hiil

In terms of who Hiil is descended from, that much is a mystery, though there are some clues that point towards Hiil being descended from Humbana Barentuma Oromo, though this is just a theory of mine and not proven.
