Enver Kartekin Ramazanogullari Family Trees of 1979

I received this family tree Map from Cousin Kozok Bey Ramazanoglu (last name is HassanPashaZade in reality - this according to Dr. Yilmaz Kurt) but he is still a cousin even though from the female side of the tree.
This family tree is supposedly done 36 years ago by Professor Enver Kartekin whose book of 1979 cousin Subhi was so kind to translate.
Enver Kartekin 1979 Ramazanogullari Tree Map - missing lots of connections!
In Islam we typically make family trees from Males only, and this is indicative from our Beirut branch of the family tree and from what our cousins in Damascus also document.
Interestingly enough this family tracks both males and females and considers the children of a Ramadan a Ramadan as if the last name of their fathers is of no importance. Also, this map shows 3 or 4 different disconnected family trees.

What is left of Enver Kartekin's version of the Family Tree Branches after Descendants of Females are taken out - to keep only Male Descendants lineage.
When I evaluated the tree and highlighted the Females and their descendants, then deleted the Female descendants as they are supposed to have last names of their true fathers as ordered by Allah in the Kuran - "Naduhum Li-Aba'ihim". I ended up with a much much smaller set of 4 different trees - one headed by Yuregir and ending by Mehmet Pasha grandson of Piri Mehmet Pasha, another is for Emir Esad Bey, a third is for Osman Bey and the forth is for a Mehmed Bey.

My Big Questions: 
What Happened to all the MALES?
Why are so many male descendants missing and not documented in this tree map?
Why did the Professor not include the Beirut Branch? What were his motives?

We believe we in Lebanon are all Male Descendants of Piri Mehmet Pasha - therefore the search goes on and the case for DNA testing continues to build-up.
Enclosed are both trees - I will post them later on the Blog so you can also see in higher resolution.
I kept Belkis Hanim's name as it is not clear how it is connected to Emir Esad Bey's branch.
Note: this tree disregards the Family tree of about 130 years ago found in the Ottoman Archives and which I happen to have inherited a copy from the late Sherif Ramazan of Beirut (Rahmatu Allah Aleyh)
