ANGWAN MISSION
(Historical and sociological analysis).
By the time we arrived ANGWAN MISSION in Zinna, the following families had already settled formally.
My methodology of enumeration, family by family, mentioning family heads, may be unscientific but convenient for the purpose of this discussion.
The names would be the way we used to call them as children in that neighbourhood. In some places I will attach names of their children for easy identification.
They included;
1. Baba Gideon Komonka(father to Amos Gideon)
2. Maman Wosenka or Lahko(a widow)
