Property Deeds

House and land deeds. The house deed was drawn in 1894 and the land deed in 1901. The house and land belonged to Mr. Cassim's great grandmother, Gnei Baba Noor Sabina Cassim (father’s grandmother). Her husband was Mr. Maas Tuan Amjadeen. Sabina Cassim’s father was Mr. Baba Noor Muhamath Cassim who married a British lady; Sabina was their youngest child. Sabina (aka nona kitchil) received 1/6th of the land share (which is what the land deed is about). The house was washed away in the 2004 tsunami.
