I found the clan my family was likely displaced from - the Lahe clan of Nenets. I also found a connection with my grandfather's name to a Nenets artist who shares the same name. He is likely a part of the Serotteto clan which was a part of Karachi. Karachi and Lahe were connected through marriage. Lahe is one of the 3 main clans (Lahe, Tysyy, Vyuts) in the European side of Nenets territory (specifically Kanin/Mezen region). This is very big to find out more about our history even though we've been severed from culture and displaced. We lost our clan and connection through my grandparents and they passed away young only in their 50s. I hope to reconnect and preserve my Nenets lineage as best I can. It's been meaningful the kindness and help I've been given from the community. I'm glad to have found some answers through research.
