Glendale, CA – Finding “lost” Armenian relatives a century after the Genocide is a daunting task. Genealogical research turns out to be an accessible means for everyday folk to achieve this end.
A small group of dedicated Armenians have been organizing conferences to train people on how to dig into their ancestry.
Three have been held so far in Watertown, MA (2016), Detroit, MI (2017), and Mahwah, NJ (2018). Response has been overwhelming with so many interested that some could not be accommodated. Hundreds of Armenians have become armed with the tools to trace their ancestry through research and DNA technology
For the first time, on the weekend of November 15-17, Armenians on the West Coast will have the opportunity share in the excitement their East Coast compatriots have experienced. Organizers have reported demand from people living in communities in western state of the U.S. Working with them, the Western Armenia Committee has put together this opportunity for people in southern [and central] California.
