Brigitte,
I am also trying to find out the names of family members from Tel Kaif, Iraq.My grandfather was Harry John Yelda (Hermiz Hanna Yelda) and emigrated to Canada about 1909. He wasn't able to enter the U. S. until 1922. He owned two markets in Detroit. If your family came in the 1920s they probably knew my grandfather. His wife's name was Amena Hannosh Yelda (anglicized to Amelia). I have an old photo of the early Chaldeans who came to Detroit in front of St. Maron's church which they used as they didn't have their own church. Do any members of your family have any knowledge of the Yelda Family? I have a photocopy of a book written in Aramaic which mentions my grandfather. This book was written by another Chaldean who lived in Detroit. However since it's in Aramaic I am unable to read it. I grew up in Los Angeles, California and my mother was not Chaldean. I would certainly appreciate any help you would be able to give me.
Thank you. Mimi Yelda Dunham
