Book on Remaining Graves at Armenian Church, Dhaka-India, Published

Family history researcher Liz Chater has completed her book: "Armenian Graves, Inscriptions and Memorials in India – DACCA – 1722-1977".

It contains in excess of 160 full colour photographs of all the remaining graves at the Armenian Church Dhaka (Dacca, previously in Bengal but now in Bangladesh). In addition, the author has included over 25 individual family tree charts that relate directly to those Armenians buried in Dhaka. These charts have been drawn up from her own research of the Armenian community's existence there between the 18th and 20th centuries.

Liz Chater has also uniquely cross-referenced the grave inscriptions with the original Armenian Church death register entries.

All transcriptions and register entries that are written in Armenian have been expertly translated into English, the majority of which have been completed by Reverend Fr. Krikor Maksoudian, to further help the Armenian family history researchers around the world who may have a South East Asia genealogy connection.

"The book is published by Chater Genealogy Publishing through a self-publishing print-on-demand online website www.blurb.com. The direct link to purchase the book is: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2277738," Liz Chater reports.

Barikala on this big effort Liz. We are fortunate to have someone like you who has been cataloguing our rich South East Asia Armenian history. I look forward to more publications from you.

Congratulations Liz Chater, I have ordered my copy and I know I will be completely delighted by it. If your meticulous attention to detail shown on your website is any indication how this book may be, it will be for sure a very valuable asset to my genealogical library and should be in all great Armenian and historical libraries, private and institutional. As with my ancestor M J Seth's book 'Armenians in India', I am sure your work will be as rare and valuable, which will go in to reprint over and over. It will be fabulous for owners of a first edition. It certainly was a major undertaking to get to so many grave markers in such remote locations of India. Thank you for your outstanding contribution to a much neglected part of our Armenian heritage and history. Yours, D R Arathoon
