Background[edit | edit source]
Historically, Sudanese Arabs were organized into tribal structures based on perceived ancestral lineage. While tribalism has weakened in urban and settled areas, it remains influential among nomadic tribes. These tribes are often grouped under larger tribal confederations, such as the Jalayin and Juhaynah. The Jalayin primarily consist of sedentary agriculturalists along the Nile, while the Juhaynah have traditionally been nomadic herders of camels and cattle. Notable tribes within these confederations include the Jalayin, Shayqiyyah, Rubtab, Shukriyah, Kababish, and Baqqārah.
Information Recorded in the Records[edit | edit source]
Strategy[edit | edit source]
The published works above include information useful for tracing Sudanese tribal lineages. These works include lineages, tribal history, biographies of prominent individuals, poetry, or encyclopedic entries of tribes and their sub-divisions.
Some of the resources listed above treat with specific tribes, while others look at groups of tribes. The scope of each resource affects the level of detail it contains on actual individuals and their families. While some books contain detailed genealogies with specific names from generation to generation, others treat with tribes generally, focusing more on their history and movement. The latter type of book can be especially useful for individuals who are unsure of where their ancestors lived, as these books can provide information on towns or regions where certain tribes can be found.
