Recently found out through 23andme that my dad’s bio dad is likely not who we thought it was (a polish man), and that my dad is half Armenian, with ancestry in eastern Armenia and Iran.

We are now trying to figure out more about this history. I am curious if anyone knows about Armenians in Germany after the war, during the resettlement of displaced persons. My grandmother (Polish/Ukrainian) had my dad in Munich before resettling to the US with her husband, but she was also in camps in Wildflecken and Wetzlar.

Does anyone know about the Armenian populations in these areas in 1946-1950? But especially in 1949… or about relationships between different groups back then?

thanks in advance. This has definitely been an interesting revelation…

Update: I think I have the name of one of my dad’s great grandparents, which must be one of the 8 names I got from the family tree of a 2nd cousin, once removed. This person, I believe, came from Alaverdi, Armenia.
