In collecting Pedigree Data, please start with your family

Hello Guys,  

Those guys who jumped to other families without exhausting a research of their own families should   reconsider and dig their families deeper so that they can have a better understanding of the whole thing.  

And as for now, as we know, our aim is to interview all elders in our villages and also enquire more so that a generation ends with children born as recent as this year 2018

If there be any hardship for a good job well done please speak it and we shall see how to help. 

Unless otherwise,  keep up.  Keep interviewing. 

PS: -New guys to be trained on Thursday 
PSS: -I will be visiting you in the villages in the week.
