Zifir, you are a lovely guy, it's every time a real pleasure,
to know, that you are never too far

don't underestimated your ability, and knowledge ...
the main problem is coming from the absence of "family name, or surname"
in the Arabic world, and sometimes also may be, in Islamic countries (who aren't obligatory Arab)
... you are aware


same thing, with the sign of swordsmith, blacksmith,
you have to have at least, the name for their father, to be able to establish a lignee, otherwise, it's hopeless
excepted some very rare case, no surname, sometimes a nickname

with my warmest regards
