I am trying to find information on my mothers family. Here is what I know...

Grandfather - Hachadour Shahinian arrived by himself and 10 years later sent for my Grandmother Armenouhi. I do not know her maiden name.

I do know my Uncle, Haigaz Shahinian and Aunt Miriam arrived as well but not sure if they came with Grandmother or later when they were older.

I have looked on Ellis Island as I am sure they arrived in the 1920's but cannot find anything. My grandfather had 2 children from a previous marriage, then married my grandmother, then sent for her and those 2 (Haigaz and Miriam) children 10 years later. My grandparents then had more children....Varvar, Paul, Jack, Margaret, Rosa and Shahin - all born here in the United States.

Any information would be GREATLY appreciated. I have limited resources and am doing this on free sites only and can't even find when they came to the US.
