I am working in Saudi Arabia and see very little in the way of information here regarding family trees. This looks like a good area for research because of the former tribal structure of the Arabian and Gulf states.
I am trying to understand relationships between families and would love to be in contact with anyone with current family or ancestors from this area of the world. Also if we have Arabic translation capabilities, I would like a pointer on how to find this. All of the world is related and the Arabic-Judeo-Christian roots are linked back to common Prophets and actual blood ancestors.
I am interested in beginning a project for the Middle Eastern family roots and recruiting some of my students and friends here into their family history. ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Saud for the Royal family and other tribes have intermaried with the Saud family.
