About Marga Tambak
The Tambak family is part of the Karo / Simalungun kinship world. In Batak tradition, your marga is more than a surname — it is a key to tarombo, marriage custom, and belonging.
Note: Names like Simalungun, Toba, Karo, Mandailing, Angkola, and Pakpak are Batak ethnic groups, not marga. Your marga is the clan name (for example Damanik or Sinaga under Simalungun).
Submarga relationship
Tambak is recorded as a submarga of Purba and Tarigan. In Simalungun tradition, clan identity flows through the four principal morga (Damanik, Saragih, Purba, Sinaga) — not through the ethnic name Simalungun.
