Qaryati ʿUyoun al-Wadi Family Tree Book
Description
The Saabeq Maalouf family tree was compiled and printed by the late Dr. Hanna Elias Maalouf in Montreal, Canada, in 1983, as a dedication to the people of his village. The book is called Qaryati ʿUyoun al-Wadi' (“My Village, Springs of the Valley") and it desctibes the history of the family from the 1700s to 1978. The book Qaryati ʿUyoun al-Wadi was written in 1978 by Dr. Hanna Elias Maalouf.
The Saabeq Maalouf family originated in Beka, Lebanon and settled in Oyoun Al Wadi in the early 18th century. Oyoun Al Wadi is a rural village located in the Wadi al-Nasara (Valley of the Christians) region of Syria. It is located northwest of Homs in the Homs Governorate.
The family tree illustrates the emigration of the Saabeq Maalouf family to places in Central America, South America, and North America. The family tree shows generations of the Saabeq Maalouf family from the 1700’s to 1978. It traces the history of seven generations of the family. Dr. Hanna Elias Maalouf visited the village and spoke with many of the older residents, gathering their recollections about their ancestry. Through this oral history, he was able to piece together the origins and early history of the village. The family tree illustrates how family members have dispersed across the world. In some cases, there are gaps, indicating that the fate or whereabouts of certain individuals were unknown.
