1. From here we can guess Tok Sharif's long name from his Minangkabau roots of Nakhoda Nan Intan:
Haji Mohamad Sharif bin Ismail bin Mohamad Saleh bin Khatib Usuf bin ..???...bin Muhammad Salleh @ Nakhoda Nan Intan.
2. So my Minangkabau paternal long name can possibly be like this:
Faridah bt Abdul Rashid bin Mohd Yusope bin Haji Mohamad Sharif bin Ismail bin Mohamad Saleh bin Khatib Usuf bin ...???....bin Muhammad Salleh @ Nakhoda Nan Intan.
3. An alternative long name via my Minangkabau great-grandfather and his Chinese mother and her Javanese Indian Muslim father is like this:

TUAN SHEIK MOHAMAD SAHABUDIN
Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani, Tranquera, Malacca (some say the makam is in Banda Hilir at Jalan Panjang)
Yemeni link to Malacca
Tok Hj Mohd Sharif's mother is Inche Nyonia binte Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin. Who is Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin? What is his full name? Where was he from? Was he from Tengkera (Tranquera)? Was he an imam of any masjid? Was he an Indian? No idea, could be. See what Bapak said below. Was he Javanese? Possibly, yes, from Cirebon. See history of Masjid Banda Hilir from its AJK Masjid.
From Bapak:
There is a Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani in Tranquera, Malacca (orang India Tranquera). He is an Indian and has relatives in Singapore.
Who are the relatives of Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin bin Amin in Singapore? I don't know.
Maheran Ahmad said she doesn't know about Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani in Tranquera. She will search.
Mahadhir Mohamad said Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani is in Banda Hilir at Jalan Panjang. He gave a pic of a yellow makam with a blue metal plate.
MASJID TRANQUERA 1728
Jalan Tengkera, Bandaraya Melaka
& Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani, Tranquera, Malacca
Masjid Tranquera was built in 1728 and has Islamic-Chinese architecture with square 3-tiered roofs and a 50-feet pagoda-like minaret.
The masjid was rebuilt in 1821 and was ready by 1850. The original wooden structures were maintained and were not removed.
There are hundreds of ancient graves outside the masjid, including that of Sultan Hussein Shah of Johor-Singapura who passed away in 1835.
This masjid was recognised as the state masjid till a new one was built. Masjid Al-Azim was opened in 1993.
Tranquera is a Portuguese word which means barrier (benteng).
Tranquera Road (Jalan Tengkera) was one of the early roads in Malacca (circa 1500s).
This masjid has been gazetted as a heritage building.
MASJID KG HULU 1728
Jalan Masjid, Bandaraya Melaka
& Keramat Gubah, Bukit Beruang, Malacca
Masjid Kg Hulu was built in 1728 (some say 1720) by Dato Shamsuddin. It has a 3-tiered roof (bumbung tangkup tiga) and a pagoda-like minaret (menara bentuk pagoda). The masjid was renovated several times over but the original wooden masjid structure has been maintained.
Datuk Shamsuddin is the son of Dato Aroon @ Haron who originated from China and became a Muslim. In 1700, Dato Aroon was appointed as the first Malay captain (Kapitan Melayu I) to look after the affairs of the Malay community. The title was inherited by his son.
Since Dato Aroon originated from China, there are many Chinese inscriptions (tulisan Cina) inside the masjid.
Makam Dato Aroon (father) and Dato Shamsuddin (son) are at Bukit Beruang and are known as Keramat Gubah.
This masjid has been gazetted as a heritage building.

Masjid Banda Hilir 1820 (7)
I still prefer to call this masjid by its original and popular name, Masjid Banda Hilir.
Senarai Nama Imam
Lembaga Masjid An-Nur
Bandar Hilir, 75000 Melaka
1. Tn Hj Ashari bin Mohd Salleh ... this Mohd Salleh cannot be Nakhoda Nan Intan.
2. Tn Hj Mohd Shariff bin Ismail ... eldest of 3 brothers at 262 Banda Hilir
3. Tn Hj Mohd Nordin bin Ismail ... middle of 3 brothers at 262 Banda Hilir
4. Tn Hj Ahmad bin Awal
5. Tn Hj Jaafar bin Hj Ashari ... his house was beside Rumah 302 Banda Hilir.
6. Tn Ustaz Ibrahim bin Hj Hashim
7. Tn Hj Halim bin Hj Ali
8. Tn Hj Osman bin Majid
Imam 1-5 above are related and are descendants of Nakhoda Nan Intan, while Imam 6-8 above are unrelated to the people of Banda Hilir or the descendants of Nakhoda Nan Intan.
What is the family tree of Nakhoda Nan Intan like?
There is a family tree of Nakhoda Nan Intan, which is prepared in tulisan Jawi. The tulisan Jawi is very tiny.
I received a copy of Nakhoda Nan Intan's family tree (tulisan Jawi) from Nenek Umi Kalthom bt Mohd Yunus @ Wan Teh when I interviewed her at her home in Kg Melayu Batu Uban in Penang on 5 June 2013.
Nakhoda Nan Intan was descended from Dato' Pepatih Nan Sebatang who lived in the village named Kampong Bodi, in the district of Payakumbuh in the highlands of West Sumatra.
Nakhoda Nan Intan married 3 wives:
1. Suripadi from Payakumbuh
2. Che Aminah Deli
3. Che Aishah (Che Tunggal)
Since he married a wife in Penang, Malacca and Singapore, there should be 3 separate family trees of Nakhoda Nan Intan's descendants today.
Nakhoda Nan Intan probably stayed longest in Penang; Hj Ashari bin Mohd Saleh became the first imam of Masjid Banda Hilir. This Mohd Saleh could not be Nakhoda Nan Intan who lived circa early 1700s while Masjid Banda Hilir was more recent (1820); more than 100 years apart.
If we arrange the names of the imams, we get this:
Hj Mohd Sharif bin Ismail bin ___ bin ___ bin ___ bin ...???
Hj Noordin is the younger brother of Hj Mohd Sharif. He probably became imam when his elder brother died some time in 1912, after Hj Md Sharif returned from Makkah and built the 262-T Banda Hilir house.
So for me and my father's lineage, we get this:
(i) Via Walid's paternal links:
Bapak said 8 generations (8 people) before him died at 262-T Banda Hilir house.
Nakhoda Nan Intan passed away and is buried in Batu Uban, Penang.
Hjh Faridah bt Hj Abdul Rashid (Bapak) bin Hj Mohd Yusope (Walid) bin (Imam) Hj Mohd Sharif bin Ismail bin Jailani bin __ .
(ii) Via Walid's maternal link:
Hjh Faridah bt Hj Abdul Rashid (Bapak) bin Hj Mohd Yusope (Walid) s/o Patma bt Sheikh Mohamad bin Salem Al Yamani (Arab dari Yaman)
Patma d/o Siti Hawa bt Jailani (Merak Mas?) bin Tahir bin Jusoh bin Ismail @ Nakhoda Kechil.
I am the 9th generation of Nakhoda Kechil. Nakhoda Kechil was much younger than Nakhoda Nan Intan, and had met Captain Francis Light in Penang. So he must have lived circa 1786.
From the family tree in tulisan Jawi which Nenek Umi Kalthom (Kg Melayu Batu Uban, Penang) gave me, Nakhoda Nan Intan had 2 children, a girl and a boy. The girl is named Zaitun and the boy Muhammad Ali.
Children of Nakhoda Nan Intan (Penang base):
1. Zaitun bt Muhammad Saleh
2. Muhammad Ali bin Muhammad Saleh
Both the children of Nakhoda Nan Intan had issues but the family trees were incomplete, and did not show where each was domiciled.
This could be Nakhoda Nan Intan's lineages in Penang or limited to his Penang base. Bapak mentioned that Nakhoda Nan Intan had married a lady at each port of call - in Singapore, Malacca and Penang. So there should be at least 3 family trees of Nakhoda Nan Intan - one each for Singapore, Malacca and Penang.
I have not seen Nakhoda Nan Intan's family trees from his descendants in Malacca and Singapore. But what I know is (and Bapak said) there are intermarriages between families in Singapore, Malacca and Penang. In fact, from the book The Real Cry of Syed Shaykh al-Hady, there was mention of Riau and the names of the Arab-Malay ladies (of Nakhoda Nan Intan's descendants) who married into the al-Hady families.
Bapak mentioned that all the Arabs in Malaysia are related and connected by marriage. Bapak was related to the Syeds of Jelutong, the Al-Yamani people of both Penang and Malacca, the Aidids of Penang and Singapore, the Bajerai of Malacca and Perth, the Al-Junied of Singapore, the Rawas family of Yemen (arwah Jaafar Rawas who settled in Kota Bharu, Kelantan), the Al-Attas family, the Al-Habshi family, the Jamalullail family, etc.
Mak was related to Syed Habib Noh's family of Singapore and Penang. Habib Noh's people are in Penang. As I recalled one descendant's family (Puan Azizah Begum bt Said Habib Nohu) lived in Jalan Dato Keramat in Penang but many have died and moved away. The women used Bibi, Begam/Begum or Hanoum in their names. Some say Hanoum was from Syed Sheikh's short stories; Hanoum became a fad but the name stuck for good and generations have used the name suffix.

Haji Muhammad Salleh (3)
Haji Muhammad Salleh @ Nakhoda Nan Intan bin Nan Tunku Patis Sebatang
Full name: Haji Muhammad Salleh bin Nan Tunku Patis Sebatang
Call name: Tuan Haji Muhammad Salleh @ Nakhoda Nan Intan
His father: "Nan Tunku Betis Sabatang" was an inherited title and means revered or 'yang dimuliakan' in Bahasa Minangkabau, according to Nasir - a descendant of Nakhoda Nan Intan, who spoke at the 7th Dato Jenaton Family Reunion at INTEKMA Shah Alam on 27 November 2016.
His mother: __
Sibs: __
Residence: Istana Besar Pagar Ruyung (Istano Basa Pagaruyung)
Village: Kampong Buadi (Kampong Bodi)
District: Paya Kumboh (Payakumbuh)
Province: West Sumatra
Country: Indonesia
Time period: 1600-1700 AD, before the original and second Pagaruyung palace burnt down for good.
WHO WAS NAKHODA NAN INTAN?
He was descended from Dato' Pepatih nan Sebatang who lived in the village named Kampong Bodi, in the district of Payakumbuh in the highlands of West Sumatra.
On record and from family tree charts, he married 3 wives:
1. Suripadi from Payakumbuh ......... a lady in Payakumbuh
2. Che Aminah Deli ......................... a lady in Deli
3. Che Aishah (Che Tunggal) .......... a lady in Penang (island)
In reality, he married more than 3 wives. However, only 3 wives are known, minus the wife he married in Tengkera, Malacca, before coming to Penang. His descendants in Tengkera are alive today. One of his grandsons, Haji Abdul Latiff Tambi @ Ulama' Nusantara, married his last wife (Bi bt Abdullah) in Penang. Whether he had married a lady in Singapore before coming to Malacca, is yes, since we have his descendants today. Whether any of his wives died before he married another wife, is unknown. Whether he divorced any previous wife before remarriage is unknown.
He had lived in Singapore. Singapore sage Habib Noh Alhabshi lived many years after Nakhoda Nan Intan had passed away at Batu Uban, Penang. They may not have met, or another man by a similar name could have met and became friends with Alhabshi. Alhabshi or Habshah implies the place of origin as Ethiopia.
THE STORY ABOUT NAKHODA'S ARRIVAL IN PENANG
He migrated from Payakumbuh in the interior to Batu Bara on the east coast of Sumatra. He married in Deli. He then sailed across the Straits of Malacca and arrived in Singapore. He settled in Singapore. He then moved to Malacca. He married in Tengkera, Malacca. He then sailed past Perak, and finally reached Penang. He settled in Batu Uban, where a Malay village started - Kampung Batu Uban.
He was an alim (singular of ulama') and was devoted to the masjid. He built Masjid Batu Uban in Penang in 1734.
Many clergymen from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Makkah, and Baghdad came to his masjid and village in Penang. Intermarriages took place with his descendants and the other migrant families.
He arrived in Penang well before Captain Francis Light arrived in Penang in 1789. Captain Francis Light arrived at the northern tip near North Bay, at Tanjung Penaga - a cape named after a fragrant flowering tree that grew in abundance at the cape. It is still known as Tanjung or Tanjung Penaga today. Tanjung refers to George Town, the city centre.
He served as imam Masjid Batu Uban till he died. He is interred under a gigantic banyan tree. The gigantic tree with roots trailing all over and covered his grave, and damaged its walls and columns. His grave is located in the middle of the crumbled makam. Another more recent grave lies to the left of his grave.
He built Masjid Batu Uban, the oldest masjid in Penang and second oldest after Masjid Kampung Laut in Kelantan. Masjid Kampung Laut was shifted from Tumpat to Nilam Puri to avoid land erosion and losing the masjid altogether. Masjid Batu Uban is at its original site, by the sea previously, but now after land reclamation, it is quite far from the sea. Two highways separate the renovated Masjid Jamek Batu Uban from the seashore.
Before land reclamation, the sea was near the masjid. Every time the tide was high, it came up to the rear well which had to be covered. The well only has 2 keret, and is 2-keret deep. Each keret is a concrete ring measuring approximately 2 feet tall. So the well is about 4 feet deep and is full of water. Even though the well is by the sea, it contains freshwater and does not smell of chlorine or seawater. The water from the well is softwater and is very light to the touch. An electric pump helps to pump water from the ancient well to the small ablution pool in front (by the road side).
Time period: 1600-1700 AD, before the original and second Pagaruyung palace burnt down for good.

They are from Batu Uban, Penang. They are the 2 children of Tok Kalthom Al-Khayath and Shaik Mohamad Al-Khayath. Tok Kalthom was Guru Quran. If you listen to Ami Aziz Al-Khayath recite Surah Yasin, it will make you cry. He recites it very well. Ami Aziz creates jokes in the true Arab style.

MISSING LINKS
I am uncertain what this links to. Nenek Umi Kalthom mentioned and I just quickly wrote down whatever she said. They are probably her husband's siblings.
3 sibs:
THE EARLY MALAY DOCTORS
Nenek Umi Kalthom knows and happily remembered Dr K. M. Ariff. "He brings the ubat van (mobile clinic). Whoever wants ubat can go to the van to obtain medicine."
NAKHODA NAN INTAN'S FAMILY TREE
Nenek Umi Kalthom's husband, Tok Shaikh Mohamed read the family tree in tulisan Jawi which was prepared by Nakhoda Nan Intan's people. He couldn't see very well so Affandi lent him his low-powered glasses. Even with the glasses on, Tok Shaikh Mohamed could hardly read Nakhoda's family tree. I think the tulisan Jawi was so small and very difficult to decipher.
This was what Tok Shaikh Mohamed read slowly and with difficulty:
Nakhoda nan Intan ibni al-Marhum Tengku Patih nan Sebatang was from Kampung Buadi, Paya Kumboh. He married 3 wives:
Malim Panjang
Nenek Umi Kalthom said:

SITI KECHIK ROKIAH BT SHAIKH ABDUL RAHMAN AL-BAGHDADI
Siti Kechik Rokiah bt Shaikh Abdul Rahman al-Baghdadi (Batu Uban) married to Ahmad bin Abdullah bin Dato' Jenaton (b.1852).
Siti Kechik Rokiah was known as Siti Rokiah Kecik or Long Rokiah. The 2 other call names could be the same individual or different individuals from different mothers (same father).
My comments:
Rokiah was probably the eldest daughter but was of small build. Thus, Siti Kechik Rokiah and Siti Rokiah Kecik could allude to her small stature or build while Long Rokiah could indicate her as being the eldest, from the word "sulong" and shortened to "Long". It is rare that a father would name his daughters by similar names.

NAKHODA
My comments:
We have to be careful with the word Nakhoda and with whom it is associated. The word Nakhoda Nan Intan is associated with the Minangkabau ship's captain, and he was a Sunni Muslim.
However, Nakhoda (used singly) is also separately associated with the Shiah sect and the followers can be found in Singapore. Shiah is banned in Malaysia but is allowed in Singapore and elsewhere.

ISTANA PAGARUYUNG, WEST SUMATRA
