    Found Something Cool: Armenian Graveyard in Hyderabad, India!


    Hey guys,

    I found something interesting: an Armenian graveyard in Hyderabad, India. It’s been there for over 300 years and holds the memories of 19 Armenians, including two priests.

    It’s an old place, but it needs fixing up. Honestly, even folks in my city don’t know about it. It’s really rare!

    Also, wouldn’t it be neat if there are still family members of these people around? They could share some awesome stories!

      This may be valuable genealogical information. If you care to, share with the Armenian Genealogy Group on FB, Liz Chater is sort of an expert on the Armenian families of India and subsequently the UK and the Far East.
