- Sadrudin Ali Nanji 1919
by Jamalu Nanji, October, 2012, Abbotsford, BC
My paternal grandparents, Aly and Jenabai Nanji, originally from India, lived in Pangani, about 50 kilometres south of Tanga
They ran a retail shop of kapad
They went on to be chalu mukhi/mukhiani of Pangani for life
The German Colonial Handbook 1903 mentions "Mohamed Nanji" as an Indian trader, resident in Pangani in 1903.
Same person or a relationship?
