My maternal grandfather, KEVORK OURGHANJIAN, was from Amasya. He emigrated to this country in 1909, and changed his surname to BARANIAN ("Ourghan" is Turkish for "rope", it translates to "Baran" in Armenian). His brother, HAROUTIUN OURGHANJIAN followed him here a year later (and kept his last name). I know practically nothing about their life in Amasya - what a pity.
