Kerewan and the long history of mobility research
Vitturini and Bellagamba’s abstract identifies Kerewan as a North Bank research community and describes successive labour migration paths from the 1950s through later African, European and United States destinations. It is a community-scale research framing, not a list of individual migrants.
For a living archive, the useful next step is voluntary family narration with consent and the option to omit routes, status and names. No household history should be inferred from a general migration literature.

Kerewan’s settlement and historical land relationship
Assan Sarr’s chapter states that a family from Katchang settled along the Suwareh Kunda Creek on the Miniminiyang bolong in the second half of the nineteenth century and founded Kerewan. The chapter also describes a continuing historical relationship around ancestral land and alkalo appointment.
This is a scholarly historical interpretation, not a current title deed or a basis for naming living authorities. Any present land, leadership or family claim requires current, locally authorised evidence and should be treated separately from the historical account.
