I'm disconnecting the ancestors of Aloandro Ben Baqr, alcaide de Faro, father of Madragana Ben Aloandro, Mor Afonso.

This is another case where the line on Geni exceeds the evidence.

There is no doubt Madragna has descendants traceable to modern times. And there is no doubt she was a daughter of Aloandro ibn Baqr. But his ancestry is very uncertain.

Madragana might have been Jewish, or she might have been Mozarab. "In other words, she pretty much a tabula rasa on whom people have placed whatever version of 'other' appealed to them, either to exoticize or taint her descendants" (Todd Farmerie, at soc.genealogy.medieval, posted Apr. 30, 2018).
