أحفاد أحمد اغا قوللي

Descendants of Ahmed Agha Kawlal

 

This Ahmed Agha Kawlali Family Tree is presented by Kismet Hanzada Rasheed and her brother Hassan (Punky) Ahmed Rasheed in memory of their grandmother Bahiga Sidki Rasheed (Fatma Bahiga Mahmoud Sidki 1900-1988), musician and women’s rights advocate. Initial (1986) information herein was gathered by Kismet Rasheed through conversations with her (also known to her grandchildren as Naina – Turkish for mother) over many summers as she visited her family in Canada and the United States.  We hope that anyone with information to share about this family and tree including pictures will do so (see Contact Us link). 

Please also note that this website may be considered an adjunct to the www.rasheed.us/Pasha website, which includes the Ahmed Pasha Rasheed family tree, as these families do intersect (Sidki + Rasheed) through Ahmed Agha Kawlali, brother in law to Mohamed Ali Pasha, and his slave Dimitri Panzaris of Chios, Greece. 

Aside from the Ahmed Agha Kawlali Family Tree, this website also includes information regarding Bahiga Sidky Rasheed herself, her work with the Hoda Shaarawi Association, her publications and her compilation of Egyptian folk songs.
