Search Ads - By Last Name (Std.), All Roles

This page allows you to search (by standardized last name) to find advertisements placed in Armenian newspapers (published in North America) by Armenians wishing to locate friends and family who may have survived the genocide. These ads, many of them placed in the years immediately following the WW1 Armistice of 11 November 1918, typically included the name and address of the person (or persons) placing the ad, their place of origin (often the town or village of birth), and names and relationships of the people they are seeking. That information is included in these abstracts, along with the image of the original ad (printed in Armenian). The ads may contain other information such as a reward offered for information, or speculation about the survivors' last known whereabouts or potential "spottings". (That additional information is not typically included in these abstracts, but researchers who can read Armenian are encouraged to examine the images themselves to learn more.) These ads are especially valuable in that they sometimes give the names of native villages, spouses, children, and extended family not mentioned in other primary sources. Where possible, each of these records will be linked to the immigrant's ship manifest and to any other North American records relating to that individual.

This database table currently represents just a few of the issues in Armenian publications where ads for genocide survivors can be found. The records abstracted are those where the images of the ads have been scanned. As more of these images become available, and as time permits, I will continue to expand the scope of this coverage.

To see what scope of records have been searched (or are currently being searched) for inclusion into this database table, press the button below.

(Note: For consistency across the timeframe of this project, the country "Turkey" in the Origin Location column refers to where the place of origin was located within the Ottoman Empire at the onset of World War 1. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire following the end of the war, some of these cities, like Aleppo and Beirut, would eventually reside within newly formed states like Syria and Lebanon. Likewise, the country "Russia" refers to the Russian Empire and its boundaries in 1914.)
