Hello,

I have been given your address from an aquaintance on facebook in the
hope that you can publish this in your newsletter, I am looking for
my father whom I think may still be living in turkey, here is my story.

My mother Janet Yildiz 18 years old the daughter of Eliza Demircian
living in Istanbul at the time married Yervant Sivaslioglu 22 years
old in 1958 this marriage produced 1 child born on 10/9/1959 called
Alis, soon after the birth of Alis, Janet & Yervant seperated.

Yervant has two brothers Noubar & kaspar they also lived in Istanbul
at the time.

Yervant re married in 1961 or thereabouts and has two children from
this marriage called Herman & Irma.

Janet & her mother Eliza left Istanbul in 1965 and moved to Beirut
finally settling in Australia in 1970, hence cutting all ties with
the remaining Sivaslioglu family.

Janet has a cousin in Armenia called Onnik he is a very well known
orchestra conductor and visits Turkey regularly.

This is the only information I have been given about my family
background.

Yervant is around 74 years old now, I would dearly love to get in
touch with him before time runs out for us to meet.

I hope some of your readers has some information they would like to
share with me.

Thank you for considering to publish this article in your newsletter,
it is with regret that I am not able to write this in Turkish I hope
you are able to transalate it.

Alice Cunningham (formerly Alis Sivaslioglu) clerin@bigpond.com.au
