My Grandfather's name is Mesrop Der Avanessian he passed away when my father was 1 year old. My father was born and was then living in Ethiopia, Africa. My grandfather was exiled with king Hail Selassie, and was a engineer working with the king.
The only thing i have is some pictures of them together.
My father and his 3 siblings then left ethiopia and went to live with their aunt and uncle in Tehran, Iran.
If anyone knows of any info that would be great.
Thank you.
Looking for Der Avanessian in ethiopia
