Obviously you've never heard of teh relatively large Ethopian-Armenian population since Black Armenians flip me out more than Asian ones. I actually don't have too much information on this but I will certainly get some to show. Basically, (I don't remember why), a large group of Armenians moved to Ethiopia and inter-married and had children with Ethiopians, however the kept the culture very strong there to the point where there are people who look totally black speaking Armenian, eating Armenian food and following Armenian traditions in Ethiopia right now. I wish I had more information because this all sounds so unbelievable you may think I'm making it up, but I've been absolutely facinated with this subject since I first heard about it.

I heard about them, my middle school armenian teacher taught us that even their belief is the same,they r chirtian orthodox and their churche ceremonies r similar to the ones that we have. Back in Europe were I lived they were lots of these Ethiopian who did their wedding ceremonies in armenian church. So thats true.

Man, what a lot of angst on this board!

I just have a gentle question to ask you, if you don't mind.

My husband (who was Armenian) lived in Dire Dawa for most of his life before he moved to the US. Do you know of any members of your community who lived in Dire Dawa and might have known Mihran Kazandjian (my husband's father) and his family? Mihran probably knew people in Addis as well and my husband, Varoujan, worked for the Singer Sewing Machine Co. in Addis in the (I think) 1960's.

I'd be interested in hearing from you in any case.
