A note on the royal lineage

Dear esteemed family member and respected visitor,

We are currently updating the records of the children of Oba Ademolu Fesogbade, both princes and princesses. As you may know, our revered Oba was blessed with five wives and many children, and we are committed to ensuring that every name is properly recorded for posterity.

The chart you see here reflects the male sons documented. However, this is a work in progress. We recognise that there may be additional names, branches, or details that are yet to be included.

If you have verifiable information — supported by documented evidence, oral history, or family records — we warmly invite you to reach out to the site administrator. Your contribution will help us build a more complete and accurate account of our royal heritage.

Together, let us preserve the legacy of our forefathers for generations yet unborn.

With respect and gratitude,
The Ademolu Royal Family Website Team
