About us
The most distant Armenian relative with the Dishchekenian surname that I know of was my grandfather Sarkis Dishtchekenian, b 1830, d 1884 in Diyarbekir, Turkey. Sarkis had a brother also living in Diyarbekir.. Sarkis married Anna Gergesian c1865. They had a daughter Sara and sons Hovanes & Haroutun. Anna died c1877. Sarkis then married my grandmother, Miriam Papazian. They had a son, my father, Dicran Sarkis Dishtchekenian, and a daughter Lucia. Miriam, Lucia, Lucia's husband and their children were lost in the 1915 Genocide.
