I belong to “Jurbani” family, my full name is "Al Amir Kamal Mohammed Mohammed Farag Jurbani", but I unfortunately do not know a lot about my family.

So I began 20 years ago to trace the history of Jerbani family, one day I found an ad newspaper called "Okaz" wrote about some people surnamed "Jurbani", so I kept the snippet newspaper to investigate the ad owner later, but the clip was lost, although they have informed me a small piece of information too, which is that Jerbani are located in Saudi Arabia.

In Yemen, the reporter of "Middle East" newspaper named Hussein Jerbana, so I wrote to the editor journalist Amin Wosabi God's mercy be upon him, inquiring about "Jerbani family in Yemen," he wrote me a message I still keep till now that "Jerbani’s used to live in the Valley in Yemen. "

In a book to one of the judges of the Qassem region, Saudi Arabia, I read about another family called "Al jerba" I do not know whether they are "Jerbani" or the similarity of the names. But i found information say that "Al Gerba is an Arab tribe, belongs to Hatim al-Tai personal historical famously known for his generosity. "

In Egypt, "Jerbani" living in some cities, including Al Gharbia province, where I belong, and"Apis", a city on the outskirts of Alexandria, some Jerbani migrated to Europe "Denmark" and "Osama Jerbana "Italy", and through marriages race Jerbana arrived to Europe and Scandinavia, bringing Norwegians and Europeans to the great family.

Years ago, the cousin of ours named "Hamdan" God's mercy be upon him, initiative to communicate with family members who live in remote areas, has resulted in this communication for strengthening the relationship between the "Jerbani’s of Kafr El Zayat," and "Jerbani’s of Apis". I remember that I visited with "Hamdan" some of our relatives for the first time who live in remote places; I was surprised as it happens in old movies the presence of cousins there, and after that we exchanged visits, marriagesinvitations, so that it came out to delegations arbitration from here to solve social debates there.

With the spread of "Facebook, I was surprised that" Jerbani’s are everywhere, in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, though they exist in abundance in Yemen, preliminary information indicates It is a family of middle-class that built itself educating their sons struggle and self-made, and without feeling I found myself associating of my friendship all who carries the heart of "Jerbanis", and I am receiving requests from family members scattered everywhere.

The Tribal traditional sense is a phenomenon that does not exist in Egypt, but less rare, even the concept of families known to few, and, of course, advantages and disadvantages, to highlight the value of the individual which is determined based on knowledge, culture and his own labor, which is an objective criterion for evaluation, but the disadvantages is the shuttered bonds of kinships, among households and families, it may be in your neighborhood where cousin of yours lives, or a cousin of the father and you don’t know anything about.

One of the reasons that led to July 23, 1952 revolution, that peasants revolted against the feudal lords, which put an end to the concept of families and pashas and feudal lords, as well as openness about the rural community in which one knows the whole people of one village that is very different from the city community, which consists of high concrete Buildings where you don’t know your own closer neighbor, and also the commitment of the civil status of the quartetname, which made many people – including me - care only about the family name, and neglecting everything else, which usually made some people intend to hide their family name.

Man seeks to create literary and cultural associations, and make the effort to document the phenomena of social and political history, forgetting that documents of the history of his family.

Documenting family history is not a source of pride or wandering, which has distorted the meaning of the tribe in the Arab culture, but a means for long, and regular exchanges of visits, and social solidarity, and the kinship between man and his relatives, and also the development, because the family development is a first step for the development of society.

To give an example here, let me speak abouta friend, the poet Mahmoud Jaziri who keeps the so-called "family catalogue", a large roll of skin blogger by his family history from the time of the Prophet till now. And another writer Isam Abu Shadi, who specifiestime to monitor his family news in all the provinces, and spread the achievements of its members in different fields, so they were holding a meeting annually for large families

.
From here I got the idea of the search for "Jerbanis", and although the information gathered is still so scarce, but I aspire to come on to restart the nucleus of the family tree, which can be new generations revise and increase it, to write about "Jerbanis history."

Whether already information of my ancestors belonging to Hatim al-Tai, or Alahtaih the leader of the Arabs cheap; I will always beproud to belong to this family, which confirms every indication that wereknown for its struggle and self-made.
