We could be from the same Zeeman Family. We found the Leslie & Walter we were looking for, but there are other Zeemans in the family. Send me a message on Ancestry.com with more of your family details. Do you know a June, Beatrice, Yvonne, Edward...Zeeman?

Re: Karnig KASSABIAN or KASABIAN lived in Sudan around the 1940s

hyechica — 2012-09-04 23:51:00Z

if we are looking for the same person i am on a facebook page that is armenians of sudan i can post a message to see if anyone on there would remember him or his family most of the people that post on the facebook page are 30-70 year olds. someone on there knew my great aunt and my great uncle. i am not sure how popular kassabian surname is but i have only heard it a few times. i am almost positive this karnig i knew of was living in sudan with his parents. when my grandma knew him he would have been in his late teens to early 20s

Hey uncle eddy it's Patrick (2nd oldest of the five boys) I also was trying to find information on here about karnig and seen your message. I hope we can find out one day where he went or if he had kids and so on... How have you been? The last time I seen you was at uncle Sams house when I was a little kid. My grandpop told me a while back he talked to you and you were doing good. We are all doing good on this end and I hope you will vist us again soon it's been too long. Well god bless you and I hope you get this message.

Re: james frederick GOYMER

RxCairns — 2012-04-24 20:22:17Z

Your message is quite old, Denise, so you may already have the answers from relatives (I am not related), but in case not, possibly ordering these certificates - which seem like they may fit your inquiry - might give you some factual answers.

You didn't say when he was born but this possibly may be his death:
Name: Jim Frederick Goymer
Birth Date: 15 Oct 1934
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1981
Age at Death: 46
Registration district: Coventry
Inferred County: West Midlands
Volume: 33
Page: 0105

If so, this would be the birth:
Name: Jim F Goymer
Mother's Maiden Surname: Kennell
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1934
Registration district: Coventry
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Volume Number: 6d
Page Number: 1001

And if it is the right birth, then this may be his parents' marriage:
Marriages Jun 1931
Goymer Harold Kennell Coventry 6d 1543
Kennell May Goymer Coventry 6d 1543

It seems possible Harold may have been born in 1904 in Birkenhead, which means he would appear in the 1911 English census and allow you to trace the family back through the records. Possibly they may have been from Suffolk.

lol, please do! Check your email, I sent you a message. Once they see the email address, they'll be very suprised!

Re: Joseph David MOORE or family members from Monrovia, Liberia

nclj75 — 2012-03-01 01:41:14Z

Yes! I was very surprised when I googled Moore family Monrovia, Liberia and this came up. I could not believe it! My aunt has been waiting for more news as well. Would you mind if I shared your email with her and my uncle? I know my mother would be excited as well if she were here. When we lived in New York she kept close ties with the Liberian community.

Re: Joseph David MOORE or family members from Monrovia, Liberia

miatta72 — 2012-02-29 20:38:04Z

We'll are definitely keeping in touch!

Re: Joseph David MOORE or family members from Monrovia, Liberia

nclj75 — 2012-02-29 20:29:26Z

Ok well I have been trying to get information on the family for years but nobody seems to know anything. I am the daughter of Callie's sister's (mother's side) daughter. Her name was Julia Moore. My name is actually Nicole Moore Cain. (I am married). I have two uncles that are still in Liberia they are twins. They are named Al and Julius. My mother passed away when I was younger, so I was raised by her brother, Arthur and he has a sister Artlaine that lives in California. She is very excited about this development as well. My email is nclj75@yahoo.combopefully we can fill in some gaps for each other because I really want to know my family and it's history.

Re: Joseph David MOORE or family members from Monrovia, Liberia

nclj75 — 2012-02-28 18:01:11Z

I certainly sounds as if they are the same people. Aunt Callie was my grandmother's sister on her father's side and her parents never married. It seems as if we have both found what we are looking for. The coincidences are simply too many! Did you know any of his sister Julia (Tootsie's) children?

Re: Joseph David MOORE or family members from Monrovia, Liberia

miatta72 — 2012-02-28 04:14:57Z

if these are the same people, i know the sister he came to the states w/ is his half sister. they have different mothers. his mother died during child birth.

Re: Joseph David MOORE or family members from Monrovia, Liberia

My aunt said she knew of an uncle "Bodo" that lived in Queens and was married to an aunt "Essie" or "Sc?"

Re: Joseph David MOORE or family members from Monrovia, Liberia

nclj75 — 2012-02-28 01:05:29Z

Well my mother emigrated to New York City when she was a teenager. Along with my uncle. I just found out from my Aunt that Aunt Callie was a nurse. She lived in Florida. Her sister, my grandmother's name was I think Julia Moore.

Re: Joseph David MOORE or family members from Monrovia, Liberia

miatta72 — 2012-02-28 00:31:48Z

to the best of my mom's knowledge, he had a sister w/ a name similar to Carolina/Carole. Carolina/Carole, actually brought my dad here to the states. She was a nurse and older than my dad. He was born March 11, 1948 and lived in Queens, NY.

blackninja17 — 2011-08-01 14:32:52Z

Hello

I'm hoping someone can help me make contact with family members I have in Liberia, Africa.

My biological father (Now 50-60) emigrated from Liberia to England, I think in his 20's or 30's. He would of here in the UK in the 1980s, because I (Emanuel Fahngon) was born in 1986.

My mothers name is Irene Brady, she was left with myself at day's or weeks old (can't really remember) when my father emigrated again onto America.

Once in America he eventually settled down and setup a business in Minnesota.

So if anyone has any information on my Liberian and/or American side then please, please get in touch!.

Thank You.

p.s I have attached a photo of my dad's brother, that I have located on the Internet.

Zambia/Northern Rhodesia - Zeeman Family

dahousley — 2011-03-05 21:49:04Z

Searching for information about my wife’s brothers. The family name was Zeeman and they lived in Northern Rhodesia (which is now named Zambia) in Africa. The children were named Yvonne Zeeman (my wife), Yolanda Zeeman (sister), Walter Zeeman, and Leslie Zeeman. The brothers Walter and Leslie were born in the 1950's which would make them in their 50's now.

The brothers were both adopted in the 1960's by a family surnamed French. Their adopted parents were Douglas French and Olive Avis French. Olive's maiden name was Olive Leahy or Olive Laye? The brothers were renamed Michael Walter French and Robert (Leslie?) French. Douglas French was associated with the Nkana mine at Kitwe, Zambia. We have heard that this family later moved to Australia but cannot confirm this.

I don't have any information, sorry to say. But do you know your father's name? I presume it was Fahngon, but do you know his first name? Do you know what part of Liberia he was from? Or his brother's name, and the approximate time that picture was taken? Or how old he was? Or where on the Internet you found it? Sometimes even the tiniest of clues can help.

My father's maternal uncle was named Karnig Bouldoukian. My father's surname is Kassabian. Not sure if this is the same one but they lived in Beirut when I met "Karnig Dayi". This was in the late sixties/early seventies.

Re: Karnig KASSABIAN or KASABIAN lived in Sudan around the 1940s

edwardkassabian — 2009-02-26 15:30:30Z

Dear Alyssa,
I got your name from ancestry.com. My name is Edward Kassabian and i was born and raised in Philadelphia PA. My father and mother came from TURKEY 1920 to USA. I remember my father was telling that when he went, into exile from Diyarbakir in Turkey that his older brother (Karnig Kassabian) got lost, he had tears in his eyes. With him was his uncle and younger brother Souren. They managed to get to the Syrian border and finally to the US.

Their sister virgin made it to Iraq where she married Dikran and we all re-united in Philadelphia in 1950s. but their brother Karnig got lost and for years , we looked for him. Please let me know if you learn anything more about Karnig Kassabian

God Bless you,

Edward Kassabian
