Research Notes

It is somewhat difficult to tell whether the note of Uyoma refers to Uyoma Clan of Alego Location or of Uyoma Location, which is a location on its own quite some distance from Alego Location. Given the context of other images however, it is likely to be the former. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004 & CM 04/04/2007]
