I lived with the family (four households) for several months to carry out a field research as part of my ethnology studies. Kuuyuor gave me a Dagara name, Nmingmale \u2013 which means I am the work of God. God sent me to them from Berlin to Hiineteng. And it was then God&#8217;s work in his eyes that I stayed safe and healthy during my ethnological fieldwork with the support of the extended family.<br \/>\nI designed my master&#8217;s thesis as a book, and my daughter Line translated it into English. My desire in 2019 was to present the family the results of my fieldwork \u2013 the genealogy of their lineage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was adopted by the eldest of a lineage among the Dagara people in Upperwest Ghana.
