My grandmother, Yeranuhe Genjian-Vartanesian, - as well as
all of my grandparents - came from humble beginnings. Yeranuhe Nanny came from
the mountains of Musa Dagh, Syria. She was one of the fortunate Armenians who found
her way to America in 1921 where, upon arrival to Ellis Island, she married my
grandfather, Oskan Vartanesian. (Sadly, how and when he arrived in America is not exactly known.)
