Garad Shirshore was a contemporary of Ahmed Gurey

Garaad Shirshore was Crowned Ugaas at first and had Hassan, Hussein, Hamud & Mahamud Ugaas, they still hold the Ugaas title as their surname but are also Reer-Garaad, but Shirshore took the title of Garaad and his last 3 sons took this title, Mahamud Garaad, Abdi Garaad & Garaad Farah. Ali Garaad was his Great-grandson through Garaad Abdalle. He switched titles during the Ahmed Gran wars maybe he was awarded the title? Since his father was the Dhulbahante elder and he must have been leading them in the war.

Sababta Garaad Diiriye Guure lagu caanoshubey bilowga Dawlada Garaadtooyada Daraawiisheed, waa Garad Diriye Guure wuxuu ahaa curudka Shirshoore / The reason why Garad Diriye Gure was crowned during the onset of Darawiishism is that Garad Deria Gure held the primogenitureship of the Shirshore lineage.
