History
[edit | edit source]Kirchamba was founded by the Kehath (Ka'ti) family, Spanish Sephardi Jews who were descended from Ismael Jan Kot Al-yahudi of Scheida in Southern Morocco. The Kehath (Ka'ti) family settled in the Songhai Empire in 1492. The Kehath family later converted to Islam along with the rest of the local non-Muslim population.[2][3]
