It can be argued that the Abou-Georgi or Abu-Georgi families can be traced back to two clans which are decedents of the orginal Father (or Abou/Abu in Arabic), Ibrahim Bin Rashed Bin Saqqer El-Haddadeen (of the Ibrahim Clan), and the original Father (or Abou/Abu in Arabic), IbrahimRashed El-Haddaddeen (of the Jiries Clan), respectively.

Clan information is surmised from research done by from two separate books. In the book "Ibrahim Clan" by John Aziz Mogannam, ( http://www.afrpsanjose.com/FAMILY_TREE/Books/Ibrahim.pdf ) the family surname, "Abu Georgi" (or Abou-Georgi) is mentioned in the family tree three times, (pages 41, 752, 706). In this research the author also states that the Khalil Bataeh family branch is "also known as the Abu Georgi Family". In the book "Jiries Clan" by John Mogannam & Paul Salah, ( http://afrpsanjose.com/FAMILY_TREE/Books/Jiries.pdf ) the family surname, "Abu Georgi" (or Abou-Georgi) is mentioned at least twice (pages 567, 873).

As a point of interest, it should be noted that many original Arabic surnames such as Maloof or Bataeh were changed to Abou-Georgi or Abu-Georgi because of poor documentation and errors understandably created during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The surname "Abu-Georgi" and "Abou-Georgi" have been traced back to the village of Al-Bassa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Bassa) in Palestine. It was depopulated due to the Palestine War of 1947-1949 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arab_towns_and_villages_depopulated_during_the_1948_Arab-Israeli_War ) , and the subsequent exodus of Palestinians & Lebanese displaced by Israel ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Palestinian_exodus ).
