Transcription: {SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
interviewer:[[Arabic: Lady,[[?]]the girls--]]
[00:04:59]

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
Did he specifically pick America or was he just escaping anywhere?
[00:05:03]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
No, no, he specifically picked United States, because everybody was coming-
[00:05:08]


{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
[[Arabic: She didn't see anything, [[?]]?]]
[00:05:09]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
No! She didn't see anything.

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
[[Arabic: Lady, [[?]] the girls --]]
[00:05:12]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
Yeah, [[Arabic: Lady, we have]] two daughters they stayed in the old country they were both married, the daughters, at this time they got married very young. Auntie Bedouia got married when she was 13, Auntie Tekla when she was 15. They got married very young.
[00:05:26]

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
[[Arabic: [[?]] 3 aunts came, Behe--]]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
He had his father's sisters, two of them, his two aunts.
[00:05:33]

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
No, no, I'm talking about his uncles. Didn't he have 3 uncles that he was very proud of? Or--
[00:05:38]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
My father had uncles, uh, they all died. That's why my brothers are all named after them. My brother George is named after [[Arabic: my Uncle]] Jeruz, my brother Tommy named after [[Arabic: my Uncle]] Touma, that's my father's uncles, his father's brothers, named these.


{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
Yeah
[00:05:57]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
And none of them had any sons, they all died without sons.

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
Is that why Behe Naien--
[00:06:04]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
My father was--

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
Took the names from them?
[00:06:08]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
Yeah. George and my brother Tommy!

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
And that was the 3 sons
[00:06:11]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
That was the 3 sons, sure.

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
And so Behe--
[00:06:14]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
Those were the 3 brothers.

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
So it--

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
My grandfather's name is Nick.
[00:06:19]

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
Ay.

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
The, the two other, uh, uncles are Tommy and, uh, George.
[00:06:24]

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
And, and that's, and it's, it's traditional, almost necessary for the son to take the father's --
[00:06:30]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
Oh yeah, it's absolutely traditional, for the son, that's why I was insistent on my brother, Nick, naming his son Faris.
[00:06:39]

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
Ah.

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
That's what it is, the oldest son.

{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
Yeah, the older son.
[00:06:44]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
Always the older son. He names his children, his first son after his father. Like my son Louis is named after my husband's father. Yes.
[00:06:44]


{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
Mmm hmm, is the mother's father that important?

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
No, no, the father's father.
[00:07:01]


{SPEAKER name="interviewer"}
Only the father's father?
