Khostovan Family

ali90ela91 — 5 Jan 2007 3:02:08 GMT

Dear Readers,

For eight years I have been attempting to trace my family, the Khostovans, as far back as I can. So far, I have reached my great-great grandfather, Ali Akbar. My great-great-grandfather or my other further ancestors must have migrated from (possibly) Badkoobeh (old name for Baku, Azerbaijan) to Tehran after the Russo-Iranian Wars during the reign of Fath Ali Shah Qajar (1797-1834). My great-grandfather, Hajji Reza, was the owner of a small paper shop in the Bazaar-i-Tehran and when Reza Khan Mirpanj came to power and crowned himself as H.I.M. Reza Shah Pahlavi and proclaimed that all Iranians must have a surname, my great-grandfather came up with the surname of Noruzi, but later changed it to Khostovan in 1934. But, there is some speculation that my family used to hold the family name of Khostovan (in an unofficial way) before Reza Shah's rise to power. If anyone has heard of the families: Khostovan, Khostavan, Khastavan, Khastovan, and Khostevan, please reply or e-mail me at alimerzairan@gmail.com or alimerzairan@yahoo.com. Thank you.

From,

Ali Ahmad Khostovan

Nadali & Tavakolikermani Family

ali90ela91 — 5 Jan 2007 2:53:42 GMT

Dear readers,

For awhile I have been researching my mom's parental family, the Tavakolikermani Family. From my sources, the Tavakolikermani family had the surname of Nadali, before leaving Kerman for Tehran. A Haj Mubarrak Nadali (my great-great grandfather) holds this surname. My great-grandfather, Haj Gholam Reza Tavakolikermani, changed the family name to Tavakolikermani when he left Kerman. Furthermore, a family member of mine has heard that the Tavakolikermani/Nadali Family are descendants of the Khans of Kerman (or the surrounding villages/districts). I have been doing some research and I have discovered that their was a fort/castle named Nadali and that it was taken away from the owner, Ibrahim Khan Baluch, by Mohammad Ismail Khan Nuri Vakil ol-Mamalek, the Qajar Governor of Kerman, in 1867. I believe there is a connection between the name of the fort, Ibrahim Khan Baluch, and my family but I have no further information. If anyone has any information regarding the Nadali or Tavakolikermani Family, please respond to this message or to my e-mail, alimerzairan@gmail.com or alimerzairan@yahoo.com. Thank You.

P.S. My great-grandfather was a barber in Kerman and,latter, Tehran.

LUTAK - Origin of name.

steve — 5 Sep 2005 6:07:05 GMT

I am interested in knowing the source of this name. There is a town/city named Lutak, Iran. There is another town/city named Rahimabad-e Lutak. Is the name of these cities named after a family, tribe or clan? or is it a geographical reference, like river, mountain, etc.?

As far as I know, my ancestors are from the Ukraine. Being raised Christian, I am not familiar with Islam, or the Arabic/Persian culture of the region.

There is a city named Lutak in Indonesia, Philipines, and in Alaska, state of the United States. The name in the Phillipines stems from the native peoples' tongue, and it means "mud". The city in Alaska is named by Native American Indians of the Tlingit Nation. There is no specific explanation of what this names means in the alaskan native tongue.

Any information would be helpful. I am sorry to say that I do not speak Farsi, Urdu, Arabic, or any other Arabic language dialects.

Thank you! God Bless and Take Care!

Etessam family Tehran, Iran

Lireva Wall — 19 Oct 2004 4:25:14 GMT

My grandfather was Abdul Hussain Etessam. He went to college in Cambridge, England, worked in the US for a while before returning to Tehran in 1962. He died in Tehran in the 70's or 80's possibly of a heart attack. He had four sisters, some were also educated. Iran, Vagieh (the youngest) lived on Vali-Asr Avenue in Tehran, another that moved to England in the 70's had a son Faramaz. I believe the family was from Norther Iran, around the Caspian Sea? He had a British wife, Alice (Toni) Elizabeth Joyner, and two children - one my mother Averil Etessam. She had some cousins - Faramaz and Bahram in England, and Fareshday in France. Does anyone know anything about any of these people or how to contact them?

Amoo or Yonan research in Urmia, Persia

MaryAllisonYonan — 22 Apr 2002 5:16:31 GMT

Greetings,

My husband's surname is Yonan and he is Assyrian-American. His parents were both Assyrians and emigrated to the United States in the early 1900s from Urmia, Persia. They moved to Chicago first and were married there. In the 1920s they moved to Knox, Indiana and in 1947 they moved back to Chicago.

My father-in-law's name was given as Bachus Amoo on the ship's passenger list but was changed to Benjamin Yonan at Ellis Island. He emigrated alone to the United States as a teenager to make money to send back home so his family could also emigrate. However his village was attacked and the residents massacred by the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire that ruled that area before his family could escape. As far as we know my father-in-law's family members were all killed.

Does anyone have more historical information about the attacks on the villages in Persia in the early 1900s? Does anyone have any suggestions about how to find any records that would help us trace my husband's roots? Thank you very much.

I am looking for the root of my family, the only trace I have is my family name"Rangin". It could also be any other name with similar pronunciation. I suspect that Iran could be one of the possible location. If you have any knowledge about this name or other name similar to this in Iran, could you please do me a favor just let me know. Your knidness will be highly appreciated.

Looking for GHAZALI

abdolraham ghazali — 10 Oct 2001 2:42:10 GMT

I like many of you am searching for a long lost relative. I am approaching the age of 24 and have never met or spoken with my father or any member of his/my Iranian family. I have hoped and dreamed of him one day locating me, but have began to give up. If you have any clue as to his or any member of the Ghazali family please respond. Thank you all. And best of luck with your searches.
