Trace your ancestory



Some errors in this map corrected by Noble Amhara for Ethiopians

- Ganz is in (Ambo West Shawa) not Central Shewa (Yerar Fatagar Sheger Berara) it is historically mentioned as Ganz by Ethiopian Scripts
- Aymallal is actually Ziway. Aymallal is Gurageland (Alaba and Gumar in Gurage Region)
- Shawa is actually Awash Afar.

- Mugar was falsely placed in Jimma
- Enarea is the historical name of Jimma. Enarea is the historical name of Jimma in Ethiopian Scripts.
- Damot was falsely placed in Mugar
- Damot is located in Bizamo (on this map)
- Gafat was falsely placed in Chamo Welega
- Gafat is the historical tribe of West Shewa

- Aina is in Lasta Lalibela and never existed
- Bugna is Lasta not Angot (renamed to Raya)
- Armachiho is Between Metemma-Abdulrefi and Gondar
- Waldebba is a Monastery it is in Welkait

- Aramachuho is in Alefa-Chelga
- Chelga Tsagade is in Armachiho

- Gabra is Borana
- Girja is Gedeo
- Gudela Gadab is Sidama
- Highlands of Yifat Shewa is Christian Amhara but the more lowland you go it becomes muslim Argobba and Afar who formed Ifat Sultanate
- Zobul is in Angot Amhara Region not Afar
- Welkait spans to Humera
- Metekel Kamashi Asossa Anuak Nuer in western Ethiopia should have been included

The map was made by Somali it has many accuracy and many mistakes and should be fixed
