Where are your grandparents from?

Where did they move to?

Good question. I think I'll ask my grandparents today so I can get it straight and get back to this thread.

My armenian grand parents are from Lebanon, Beirut, but I think my grandfather was borne in Iran or Syria. They left in the 60's for EUrope, Belgium

My grandfather, from my father's side is from Musa ler, He was ten at the time of the genocide. After the 40 days , they ended up in Anjar, there, my grandfather married, changed his last name, to start with his father’s first name, and moved to Armenia, so my father, his sisters, and brothers were born in Armenia.

On my mom’s side, both my grandmother and grandfather were from Kesab, they moved to Armenia, and my mom, her sister, and brother were born in Armenia.

My grandparents from my father's side come from the village of Zeytoon in Cilicia (Getse Zeytoon, abri Zeytoon!). My grandfather was the only survivor of his family and arrived to Syria. Almost similar story for my grandmother.

My maternal grandfather was born in Ayntab, and arrived in Syria when he was a year old or so. As for my maternal grandmother, she was born in Syria, but her parents were from Sasun.

So in my blood, I have the good fighters (Zeytoontsiner), good dancers (Sasuntsiner) and good cooks (Anytabtsiner).

My father's parents came from Texas in the 50's. They married there and moved here before having any children.

My mother's parents came from Ohio after WWII, because there were good opportunities for advancement at the new west coast branches of the bank my grandfather worked for.

I think this is how the story goes. My fathers grandparents were originally from Baku? (I don't know the correct name for it) The moved from there around the time of the Genocide to Tabriz, in northern Iran. When they moved, they changed their last name, that's why my last name isn't a "traditional" Armenian name. My mothers family is all from Iran. They are from the original Armenians who first settled in Iran, many many many many many years ago. I was born in Tehran and moved to America when I was 1.
