Samuel_Doumanian

Hello people who are showing an interest who the heck I am. My name is Samuel Theodore Doumanian. I am quarter Greek, quarter Armenian, and half random unidentifiable mix of many other north western European countries. I am a very religious christian, and love to write science fiction stories as well as building hobby kits. I also love to learn about history.

My Great Grand parents were born in Armenia. My Great Grandfather in paticular Hampar Doumanian was a member of the Armenian army when the Turkish Genocide hit. I still do not know the whole story, but he ended up fighting with the Bolsheviks before deciding enough was enough, and moved to America with his wife and child. They had eight more kids after settling down in Michigan. Two were girls, the rest boys. Over the course of the next two wars (World war two and Korea) all the boys were drafted. Luckily, they all returned home alive. My grandfather, Rupen, was the youngest. He was drafted for Korea at the tail end of the war, but by the time he was done training it ended. After a year, the army let him go. Shortly after Vietnam started, so he was a very lucky man. He married a Greek women, Tina Roman. They had three children, Theodore (my father), Nancy, and Samuel. Theodore, my dad, Married my mother Christina. They had two children. First my sister Nicole, then me. That's the farthest back I can trace my roots to Armenia, as our entire records from before my great grandparents were destroyed by the Turks. Because of this everyone in the Armenian side has kept copies of a binder my Great Grandfather started, recording our entire history from his generation to the present. It was his way of ensuring this never happened again. There is even a picture of Great Hampar in Armenia as a young officer, one of him with the Bolsheviks, and a photo of my grandpa four years old in a sailor suit! (Grandpa really wants that one burned)

I registerd on this forum to learn more about my heritage, and maybe get some helpful critisism on my fiction I am writing. (The fiction has a lot of stuff involving Armenia in it, and I want to make sure I got it right)

Well, if you read this far, you now know more about me then you were originally intending. If you feel you still do not know enough about me, get away you stalker!
