Hello People
Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2007 2:32 pmHello friends,
My name is Vrezh, I'm an Armenian from Souther California. I fully support creation of Kurdistan as an independent nation. I am also here trying to find my relatives among Kurdish people, I am hoping that by some miracle I maybe able to do it.
My grandparents originated in Urfa and had 7 children at the start of the massacres. The 6 younger ones perished, but the eldest, a redheaded boy named Hagop was saved taken by a Kurdish chief who promised to raise him as his own son. My father tells me that in the 1940s a caravan came to Rayak, Lebanon with lots of supplies as a gift to my grandfather from his lost son, by that time he became the chief of a Kurdish tribe in Syria. Unfortunately my family never got to meet their long lost son in person, because they migrated to Armenia in 1946. I'm assuming that my lost uncle has passed away by now, but I'm also hoping that he had a large family and now I have many Kurdish cousins. My grandmother also told me that the boy was carrying the family book listing all of our ancestors going back 2000 years, it would be a true miracle to find it. I would really appreciate any help you can give me locating my Kurdish cousins.
Thank You
