  1. Thanks George Aghjayan and ARF Archives to bring us these stories… It’s truly heart warming…

  2. Thank you George for all your hard work. I found my two uncles among the passport applications!

  3. Thanks, George, for your efforts and work done! You are really reviving the hidden pages of our hard history.

  4. I am just seeing this and a note that was sent to my Ancestry account years ago. This is my Maternal Grandfather – Leon Bogosian. Every story I read adds a little more detail to his amazing journey. Thank you!!

  5. George, thank you for a wonderful article about my dads journey to the United States. In the reading of the article I’m happy to hear you researched Altoon Nahshjian. My father never spoke about his journey. My niece, Stacy Ellison, sent the article to me last month. This is a treasured article and will be added to my fathers immigration papers and documents. Thank you!
