History of Wlolͻngͻ [Wlolongo] Katoo, Banda-Ahenkro

Oral history of Wlolͻngͻ [Wlolongo] Katoo (house), Ahenkro, describes how the family came from Kakala to settle in the Banda area and tells of the family's losses in the Fante wars. It describes the unfortunate circumstances that befell the family after it adopted a slave who turned out to be a witch. Due to an epidemic that affected the house, the list of former male and female heads of families is partial. To cite: Stahl, Ann, and James Anane. 2011. Wlolɔngɔ Katoo, Banda-Ahenkro.
