Re: Armenian Genealogy

I too have been researching Armenian genealogy. For 35 years. I have located 99% of more than 150 immigrants in my family, including census records and creating 10 family trees tracing ancestral names back as far as 1756.

What have you found in the way of resources? I'd be interested in knowing?

Re: Armenian Genealogy

Didn't the Turks destroy most records of Armenians during the Genocide? I only know up until my great-grandparents.

Re: Armenian Genealogy

John, how pure is our race I mean how many percent of our blood is Armenian?
Has there ever been a genetic study in Armenia to determine the percentage of our genes? I know there were a few Armenians who married azzies during Soviet years but thankfully those people don't live in Armenia anymore so they can't pollute our nation.
Thank you.

There is no "pure." However, differences are in degrees, not kinds.

It will entirely depend on where you want to draw the boundaries of our 'race' around the world. I don't just mean geographically.

Re: Armenian Genealogy

I began by sitting with my maternal grandmother and asking her specific questions about ancestors, beginning with names, then spouses, then ages, then children and so on. Peeling onions is easier. But it's a passion and a hobby. A few of things I discovered along the way:

My paternal grandfather was of of the first 527 Armenians to come to America between 1618-2/24/1885.

He was the 6th Armenian to become a photo engraver in America.

He was the first person with the name of Ouzoonian to come to America.

These point to a most interesting and proud family history.

Oh yeah, one more interesting fact: Based on my extensive research my family is the oldest Armenian family in America involved in the art of photography spanning 5 generations and every known aspect of the art, from building, designing, engineering and family preservation.

My father alone, spent 79 years photographing.

Anyway, that's how it all began, one piece of paper with 23 names, ended up with 10 family trees and every known cousin and spouse totaling over 2,000 people.
