The Demba Niang Family Archive
A carefully sourced online archive of the Demba Niang family, built from a handwritten notebook and its links to villages in Senegal’s Matam department.
Why it surfaced
The site photographs and transcribes a family manuscript, connecting 148 people, 145 filiations, six generations, and eight villages to 276 specific source claims. Its best quality is its restraint: it separates family memory, archival evidence, and what remains unknown—including a village that still cannot be located on a map.
