Mother's side of the family tree

I interviewed my mother about her side of the gigantic family tree. My grandfathers name was Plong Prom. His parents name was Great grandpa Plog Lim and Great grandma Bua Preang. Grandfather Prom was a farmer on the country side. He had two wives named Kim and Pat. He had 8 siblings, he was the oldest then came, Grandma Lom, Grandpa Lout, Grandma Leoup, Grandpa Lea, Grandpa Keur, Grandma Nep, Grandma Leik, Grandma Vieng. All of his siblings contributed to the huge family tree to make it even bigger. Giving me a lot of uncles and aunts. He had a kind soul and loved to help others. He was known never to have gotten angry. A true gentleman. He loved having his pets around the farm from chickens, cattle, pigs, etc.
Grandmother Kim, with my grandfathers help, had 8 children, Chaht Lim having 6 children, Chouer Lim having 8 children, Chouerp Lim 6 children, my mother Sally Lim 2 children, Salonng Lim deceased, Salonn Lim having 1 child, Salang Lim 0 and Sokhom Lim having 3 children. And most of my cousins having children themselves adding even more to the family tree.
