I was extremely excited to read the above article. My siblings and I have been searching for years to try and find my fathers remaining relatives with very little family history. My father was a young child when the war broke out. He spent 2yrs in an or phage in Istanbul before he was transferred to one in Corfu Greece before being transported to Georgetown Ontario Canada, in 1924. Corfu issued him a Greek visa which I have. Unfortunately the name on the visa is not his biological name,it was changed at issue! From what we don’t know. My grandmother remarried to a Takvoryan in Istanbul. Who do I contact for further help.
Adrina, I might be able to help. You can write to me at dohanian@corningcentre.org.
I have a picture of my grandfather and his brother. A very rare and treasured picture. Ancestry shows my grandfather from a village near Eravan. However, the ship manifest says he last saw his father in Sivas turkey. My grandpa‘s name is Ovak, his brother Ovig Tarpinian (Darbinian). From his second marriage certificate in Detroit Michigan. I found my great grandparents names, Markar and Ednas (Annie) Pappozian. And that’s it! I don’t know if or how many siblings he had. I know that he was married before I don’t know about kids. His brother was married before but it doesn’t show how many kids. Does anybody know him or my family? Please any help would be Greatly Appreciated, thank you!
