Father's side of the Family

I asked my parents about my Grandfather Y Say and he was ranked a Commander in the military. He had 7 siblings, Grandpa Eim having 7 children, Grandma Yahn 8 children, Grandpa Ourn 3 children, Grandma Pech 7 children, Grandma Sauw 7 children, Grandpa Saivoeun 1 child & including himself. He was born in the year 1925, and passed away in the year April 23rd 1975 in the tragedy of the communists. Y Say, pronounced like the letter E lived in Ta Keo Cambodia where he wed his wonderful wife Sieng Kam. Later in the years they moved to many cities but mostly resided in Battambong & 3 children. From Oldest to youngest, my father SamAth Say, my aunt Sathavary Say and my uncle Sivanna Say. He loved having pets and had a green thumb. He was known as a kind person throughout the neighborhood & was always there to help. Grandma Sieng Kam was the house wife and always kept the house up to date. Her parents names are Greatgrandma Mawm and Greatgrandpa Kam She was known as a strict person with her family but was also known kind with the neighborhood. She has 6 siblings, Grandma Mom, Grandma Suoen, Grandpa Neang, Grandma Rrie, Grandma Roeun and including herself. Our family branched out and made an even larger family tree and I'm sure there are more before all of this.
