Hi David,
The village was called Parchanj and it is just south of Kharpert. The village is now called Akchakiraz. If your family does indeed hail from this village then you are most fortunate for there is an outstandingly detailed history of the village that has been translated into English.
Village of Parchanj: General History (1600-1937)
by Manoog B. Dzeron
Translated by Arra Avakian
First printed in Armenian in 1938
First printed in English in 1984
This book is unique also in that it supplies detailed family genealogies for the families of the village. It may be difficult to find copies of the book. However, I do see one possible used copy for sale by a reputable private dealer in California. Please email me directly if you are interested ([email protected]).
