Maybe if people from turkey with Armenian ancestors do dna, they can connect with Armenians elsewhere, to build up their family trees, and maybe find lost relatives..
This is already being done. It is a project that started in 2013. Once the situation is more stable in the region, it will pick up pace.
Kudos to all the organizers, those on hand who translated and searched family roots and the lively discussion among the many newly found relatives brought together via the DNA projects and this conference: unlayering the once thought unknowable. Quite a remarkable day!
Great turnout; am looking forward to the next conference.
My father, OKSEN GEORGE SISLIAN, was born in Tarsus, Turkey . His brother , Rev.Karekine Sislian, sister Perouz Sislian ,Father George and Mother Haiganoush escaped the Genocide and ended up in Cyprus. The past was painful for my father to speak of, so we have little knowledge of life in Tarsus and would be very interested in hearing from anyone who can shed light on this Christian family.
This was an amazing event. I am looking forward to the next one. Thanks to the organizers for their hard work and dedication!
Bravo and congrats to everyone who was involved in this project. Thank you all.
