It is known that some of the
Kahlani
Qahtani tribes of ancient
Yemen
were Christians like the
Ghassanids,
Lakhmids,
Banu Judham and
Hamadan
who later spread to Syria, Arabia, Iraq, Palestine,
Lebanon. It is known also that the
Nabateans
(in Jordan) were a Christian Tribe. It is also known
that the
Tayy, the
Abd Al-Qais, and
the Taghlib had many Christians between them.
Najran in the South of Saudi Arabia was an Arab
Christian Center.
It is said that the Hazboun family name comes from
biblical Heshbon, or Hesbon in Southern Jordan, now
Hisban. There were lots of Christian tribes there.
The Family Tree goes back to 1610 in Bethlehem.
Many Arab
Christians of today come from the Aramean and
Syriac families known till now in Lebanon,
Syria, Iraq and Palestine, like the
Assyrian/Chaldean/Syriac people
and the Chale\dan Catholic Church (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaldean_Catholic_Church)
or the Maronites of Lebanon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maronite_Church).
Others come from the Coptic families in Egypt and
Ethiopia (http://st-takla.org/Coptic-church-1.html)
We will try to start Family
Trees, like the ones that follows that I found on
the Internet.
If you
have one please sent it to us at
veryfriendlyto@aol.com.
Later we would like to link all these trees to AN
ARAB CHRISTIAN GLOBAL TREE that should take us
thousand of years back to our origin tribes.
Thanks
for making it happen.
I am willing to accept corrections, please do not
hesitate to help us build what is needed for all of
us Arab Christians every where. Thanks Again.
