History

Kīb (today called Narsuyu) was historically inhabited by Chaldean Catholics.[3] Most of the Chaldean Catholics in the village converted to Islam amidst the Hamidian massacres in 1895.[7] In 1913, it was populated by 50 Chaldean Catholics, who had one church, but no priests, as part of the Chaldean Catholic Eparchy of Seert.[3] It was depopulated in the 1990s.[6]
