hello, there is a book by anne hart on finding your mideast and european ancestors. it may be helpful in at least helping you to set up your research and developing a system that ultimately could lead you to your answers. we're trying to find information about the Baakrime family and also a picture of a sign at the entrance of medina where the name is. please feel to write directly at hafidsprincess@aol.com if you can't find the book by anne hart. good luck
