It is better to get to know what type of kinsmen the deceased are, whether they are 10- or 3-day kinsmen, and observe asaucam accordingly. How can you observe asaucam without knowing this? Ask any elders who might be alive or find out if they have written down about the lineage to learn about the generations. It is a must for one to be aware of the generations in one’s lineage. It is a different issue if one is not aware whether the deceased are kinsmen, but one must get to know whether the deceased are 10- or 3-day kinsmen to observe asaucam accordingly.
