- (continued from previous page)remains of the houses that they lived in are there still. There is a hole in a corner of a field in Banishal where they used to bury the dead bodies. There was a family living in a house there and they died of hunger. They were dead a couple of days before they were found. The following year seed potatoes came from other countries. The people used to scatter them in the ground. Some of the people had to give dig up the seed potatoes again before they were grown because they had no other food to eat. The majority of them went away to other countries and some of their descendants are there still.
