Dear teachers,
On speaking behalf of a community with many families, how can I say this sentence right?
We are residing along with our (family) / (families) at (Place) since 1900.
Could you please think of ways to refine the above sentence?
Thank you very much for your help.

A language is a systematic means of communication by the use of sounds or conventional symbols. It is the code we all use to express ourselves and communicate to others. It is a communication by word of mouth. It is the mental faculty or power of vocal communication. It is a system for communicating ideas and feelings using sounds, gestures, signs or marks.
Following sentence makes sense;
We have have been residing along with our families at (Place) since 1900.
Thanks |

I'm sure Afra meant to put only one "have", i.e.
We have been residing along with our families at (Place) since 1900.
Apart from that, yes!
