Inteas Umar

Respected Family and Friends of Imteas Omar,

I have come to the realization that my father's birth name is Imteas Omar, not Inteas Umar. Through stories shared by his family members, I have been able to verify this information. During my father's immigration to America, his name, along with the names of his siblings, underwent a change. Interestingly, only his first and last name were altered. The letter "M" was replaced with "N," and the letter "O" with "U." This change was significant considering my father's identity and aspirations. He willingly accepted this revised name to secure his migration to America.

Growing up as a child in America, I had access to technology such as the internet, including websites like ancestry.com, which allowed me to trace our heritage. I was always curious about the legacy from which I came. Unfortunately, my initial research was flawed. At that time, I was searching for the last name Umar, which led me down an incorrect path. The information I had previously believed to be true was misleading, due to the fact of the name change. Now that I have this accurate information, I am eager to learn more about my ancestors and the lives they lived in Guyana. Through diligent research, I have been able to trace my family history back to approximately the 1840s through the 1890s.

I have shared a photograph of my great-grandmother. If any of you reading this message would like to share additional information or stories, please contact me at [email protected]. It would be an honor to engage in conversation and share the legacy of my father.

Thank you for reading,
