Armenian Anchestors Aszian/Seko/Ceko
Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 8:53 am
I am searching for information on my Armenian ancestors.I know virtually nothing.I need help in determining how they would have chosen their American name. My great grandfather was George Ceko born Aug 25 1894 in Armenia.He came over to the United States w/ his uncle (Manoog Aszian) & brother Richard Ceko to avoid the genocide. I believe his paremnts & a sister did not come to US & he never knew if they survived the genocide.There is a variation of Ceko as Seko in my family tree.As one of my great uncles chose to spell Seko w/ and S instead of a C. I cannot find any information on Manoog or Richard in US.Basically the only info I found on George is his registration card for the war & that I came accross his dob & place of birth.Im assuming he went by a different name on manifest since I cannot find any Seko/Ceko or even Aszian on any manifest. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I just became aware of my Armenian ancestry a few days ago.
