Help me hazarewals

My ancestry is from Lalogali Haripur , my great-grandfather's name was Girdhari Lal he was a very affluent and famous goldsmith there , he had several local muslim artisans working under him , he had a wife named Motia Devi who used to teach Pashto to young children , he had 2 sons and 2 daughters . The names of the sons were - Somnath, Harbans Lal . The names of the daughters were- Chandrakanta and Chandramoni. His sons were about about 12 to 9 respectively at that time . They lived there until 1947 partition till 26 August 1947 . A local family there helped them after that they took shelter under the nawab of Darband(under Mansehra) and came to India in 1948. If anyone could find their house in lalogali or any history from respective old residents, I would be very happy. Currently , I am his great-grandson( grandson of Harbans Lal), my grandfather is on his deathbed and his last wish is to see his home in Pakistan. I would be pleased ,if anyone could help us .

Advice for Hindko

I'm looking to learn Hindko (TL) from scratch. I decided to learn this language because it's my friend's mother tongue and I thought she might appreciate it. However, there are practically no resources, barring a rather technical grammar guide. I tried looking for a tutor but I haven't managed to find one, so I was wondering what to do in this situation. Is it a good idea to learn Punjabi and hope that there are better resources? It's my understanding that they are relatively mutually intelligible, but if there's a better way to go about this, I would appreciate the advice.
