Istanbul

I was delighted to have recieved a new photo from Annie Istanbul, daughter of Alice Izmirian.
From Izmirian b. 1951 - 2009

I find it amazing that we have another Izmirian with a surname from a city in modern day Turkey. I am sure Istanbul changed its name centuries ago, but if not it may help me answer the Izmir question. Annie’s husband is going to email me with his families origins. I am sure it will end up here in Istanbul. In the meantime I am off to find when Istanbul changed from Constantinople.
