On this page, we present another family history from Greece, as told by Hripsime/Simi Nshanian (nee Terzian). Her ancestors hailed from the city of Edirne (Adrianople) and were millers by trade. During the Armenian Genocide, many members of the family were deported to the desert of Deir Zor. The survivors returned to Edirne, and from there, proceeded to Northern Greece.
Hripsime/Simi inherited numerous fascinating artifacts and photographs from her ancestors, which we present on this page.

The article was translated into English and Turkish respectively by Simon Beugekian and Sevan Deirmendjian.
This page was also made possible thanks to the efforts of the Armenika newspaper of Athens and the Athens chapter of the Hamazkayin Cultural Association. The workshop during which Houshamadyan obtained these materials was sponsored by the German EVZ (Remembrance, Responsibility, Future) Foundation.
Best wishes,
