Sources & Method
Where this site’s data comes from, how it was processed, and what remains uncertain.
How the data was processed
- The genealogy tables of the TALI Book 2022 (pp. 32–161) were extracted from the PDF with pdfplumber, giving 3,788 records (including KH. Ibrahim).
- Each person keeps the book’s NIT (lineage number): the number of segments = generation, the first segment = Bani. It is not a national ID number.
- An asterisk in the book marks the deceased. No asterisk does not mean alive — that status is treated as “unknown”.
- Spouses who are not descendants have no NIT. The descendants of KH. Zainuddin (3.4) & Hj. Aisyah (6.9) are listed in two branches and marked 🔗.
- The history text was tidied from extraction (broken spacing, page numbers) without changing content, names or spelling, then translated into English.
- Errors in the book are not silently corrected: they are marked ⚠ “needs review” until confirmed by the branch coordinator.
