I am looking for any information on my Great Grandfathers( Arthur MANOOGIAN) Born 3 Mar.1892 in a villiage Called Roumlou near Armenian City Hadjin in the state of Adana Turkey also was known as "Cilician Armenia in the older days.I was told all his people were killed during the 1st world war 1914-1916 by the cruel Turks it was said only one brother was saved and lived with his family in Beirut-Lebanon he died before Arthur in Beirut. Arthur came to the united states 17 Nov. 1913 with him came Armen H. TELIAN from same villiage and Benjamin KASELIAN from town of Shar Arthur's parents were said to of been killed( massacred) by the Turks during war in or around 1915.It was told he had a sister her name was told to be Mary and it was said she was taken by the Turks and never heard from again.It was said that my great grandfather Arthur MANOOGIAN came to the US on a steam ship called LAURA from the port PATRAS in Greece again the date was 7 Nov.1913. It was said that Arthur MANOOGIAN was not my great grandfather's name before he came to the US from Armenia. Arthur MANOOGIAN married Lulu Jane WIXON on 1 Oct.1919 in Corning,Steuben Co.,NY Arthur and Lulu lived in Steuben County all their lives. I do have a copy of Arthur's Nationalization paper and it was dated 4 Apr.1927 Sepreme court in Corning,Steuben Co.,NY. He died in Painted Post,Steuben Co.,NY 17 Apr.1945 If anyone knows what his name was and the spelling when he was in Armenia before he came to the US and the correct names and spelling of his siblings and parents. I can be contacted by either emailing me at melanie1965@cooltoad.com or write to Melanie MCCRACKEN, 4984 Sugartown Rd.,Great Valley,NY.14741
