Currently,
in New Zealand, I live in the Southern hemisphere. My connection with
this hemisphere of our World goes back a long way.
Addu
Atoll

Many
of my maternal ancestors came from Addu Atoll from across the Equatorial
Channel. Most of them were from the town of Midu on the Island of
Hulhumidu. Others came from Maradu. They were descended from locals,
exiled kings from Malé and ecclesiastical immigrants, mainly
from the Arabian peninsula.
I
guess my paternal ancestors always had Addu at the back of their
minds as that would have been the place they would have been sent
to had they been deposed and exiled.
