The Armenian Genealogy Conference will take place April 9-10 in Watertown. The conference, which grew out of the Armenian Genealogy
group on Facebook, will feature several speakers on various topics
regarding Armenian genealogy, history, geography, and presentations on
different organizations and initiatives.
George Aghjayan, a retired actuary and one of the conference
organizers, noted that the study of Armenian genealogy has grown
substantially over the last decade, and that organizing a conference was
a necessary step. “Advances in technology have allowed access to
information previously thought unattainable,” said Aghjayan, who hopes
that the conference can become an annual event.
