Hello,

 

I have been given your address from an aquaintance on facebook in the

hope that you can publish this in your newsletter, I am looking for

my father whom I think may still be living in turkey, here is my story.

 

My mother Janet Yildiz 18 years old the daughter of Eliza Demircian

living in Istanbul at the time married Yervant Sivaslioglu 22 years

old in 1958 this marriage produced 1 child born on 10/9/1959 called

Alis, soon after the birth of Alis, Janet & Yervant seperated.

 

Yervant has two brothers Noubar & kaspar they also lived in Istanbul

at the time.

 

Yervant re married in 1961 or thereabouts and has two children from

this marriage called Herman & Irma.

 

Janet & her mother Eliza left Istanbul in 1965 and moved to Beirut

finally settling in Australia in 1970, hence cutting all ties with

the remaining Sivaslioglu family.

 

Janet has a cousin in Armenia called Onnik he is a very well known

orchestra conductor and visits Turkey regularly.

 

This is the only information I have been given about my family

background.

 

Yervant is around 74 years old now, I would dearly love to get in

touch with him before time runs out for us to meet.

 

I hope some of your readers has some information they would like to

share with me.

 

Thank you for considering to publish this article in your newsletter,

it is with regret that I am not able to write this in Turkish I hope

you are able to transalate it.
