Hello List, I have just come upon some interesting information. If this is silly to some of you please excuse me. I received the 1920 census for Weehawken and West Hoboken and much to my surprise I came across many, many Armenian names. Could someone please tell me how come there were so many Armenian's in Hudson County in the 1920's. Could it be the result of the Armenian Holocaust? I am not Armenian but I am interested as to why people from other countries come to America and especially why they chose to settle in certain areas. Thanks for your help, Lois Segall Friedman

Not an Armenian historian, but the Bolsheviks took over all the Soviet Republics just before ..... not sure if Armenia was one of them, but if not it was right on the border. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Bubylu@aol.com> To: <NJHUDSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 8:36 PM Subject: [NJHUDSON-L] Armenians in Hudson Cty in 1920 > Hello List, > I have just come upon some interesting information.
