Alice Izmirians Update

I must thank Jean and Hasmig Abrahamian. Jean has sat down with his mother Alice as I have with Sarkis. Rather than retype the information I will cut and paste the email. It is fantasic information and has challanged previous facts.

Email from Jean and Hasmig:
Jean and his mother Alice had another info session today. When I came home from work he had a bunch of papers and scribbled dates and was putting together pieces of the puzzle. I wish we lived closer so we could do this face to face.
Here is what we can add to clarify dates according to our findings.

GARABED was born in 1862 in Musadagh---died in 1909 in Sis at age 47
He had previously moved to Sis with his family to help with the defense against the pre-1915 Genocide killings.

Garabed had 2 daughters and 4 sons.
1. NEVART born approx. 1885 in Musadadgh ----died in Anjar in the 1950"s?
2. MARIAM (Marrish) born in approx. 1888 in Musadagh --- died in Anjar in 1960's
3. HAPET born in 1893 in Musadagh ---died in 1944 in December 1944 in Lebanon
4. SARKIS born approx. 1901 in Musadagh -- died of illness in Musadagh between 1909 and 1915
5. YESSAYI born approx. 1904 in Musadagh --- was lost in 1909 in Sis during the pre-1915 Genocide killings
6. ANANYA born on March 15, 1907 in Musadagh ---died in USA

Garabed had moved to Sis with his whole family prior to 1909.
During the 1909 killings Garabed and his wife got killed.
Alice remembers her father Hapet recalling what his father Garabed said as he was dying..."I have been shot. Do whatever you can to save yourself."
Nevart, Mariam, Hapet and Sarkis managed to go back to Musadagh between 1909 and 1915.
Yessayi - no trace of him to date.
Ananya was an infant under 2 years, found injured and clinging to his dead mothers's body, trying to nurse. baby Ananya ended up in an orphanage.

Correction from Jean's previous conversation with you......
Hapet WAS in Musadagh in 1915 and ended up in Port Said along with the whole group.

Additional information about Hapet's sister MARIAM:
When they went up to the mountain in 1915, she was already married and had a daughter, Her husband BEDROS HAVATIAN was one of the 18 martyrs.
Mariam remarried INJEYAN and had 5 sons and 1 daughter. Some of the Injeyans are still in Anjar. You may get additional information from Haig in Anjar.
