Sheik Habibullah (Baba) Raboobee Family
Now my family has always had an amazing relationship Baba Raboobee (and his family of course), and even though I emigrated 23 years ago, I always made a point of visiting uncle Baba whenever I came to Durban, and he was always amongst the most cheerful bubbly, full of life people I have known, and it was always a pleasure to catch up with him.
So Baba is the son of Sheik Hassan Raboobee (son of Sheik Emam Raboobee), and I got to know his mums name (a few weeks ago) was Zeenat so updated that piece of information and locked it away.
Then I was updating the Sheik Ansari Raboobee tree last night and noted his wife to be Hawa Bibi Ansari, and they had a daughter Zeenat - so updated and locked that bit away too.
Only last night (28 December 2021), whilst talking to Baba's son Nasir, the penny dropped further into how these families are related.
So figured that Hassan Raboobee married his first cousin Zeenat Ansari and so Hawa Bibi Ansari was both Hassan Raboobee's aunt, his mother-in-law, and Baba's Nani.
