We resume our series of articles on the history of the Ashekian/Iynedjian/Bakalian/Bohdjelian clan, this time focusing on the descendants of Parsegh Ashekian.
This family history takes us to Gesaria (Kayseri), Adana, Cyprus, Beirut, Baghdad, Cairo, Alexandria, Haifa, Tehran, Buenos Aires, Constantinople/Istanbul, the United States, and Canada. Members of the family were scattered across these countries and regions, especially after their final departure from their native Adana.
The article was written by Anny Bakalian, who has been working for many years to restore and revive her family’s history and memories. Ruby Gulian also contributed to the preparation of this page.
Here is the link to the
