Did not know Armenians had a population in MA. Astounding.
“Did not know Armenians had a population in MA. Astounding.”
There are some here in NJ as well; I guess they had to go somewhere. Overall, a positive addition to the US: hardworking, traditional Christian people (Armenia was the first Christian country in the world).
Joe Mannix was of Armenian descent.
Mike Connors (born Krekor Ohanian August 15, 1925) is what the locals call a "Fresno Indian," which is indeed Armenian. The fictional character Joe Mannix is presumably of Irish origin, since that's where the surname Mannix comes from. Interestingly, so does the name Connors.
Interesting; didn’t know that.
I liked the show. Contemporary with it was another good detective show, "Cannon," with Wiliam Conrad.
The Kardashians... on the lower side of the cultural scale== Armenians. Christian last names ... -ian on name ending is common Armenian... example: Hovanesian, Nazarian,Torosian... Who could forget the Dolphin’s Garo Yepremian, the wrong way runner on a blocked kick— he still laughs about it today and great guy.
Interesting. I used to watch the show and didn’t recall that. In any event, Mannix is not an Armenian surname.
Cher is also Armenian, too bad the Turks missed her ancestors.
True. And we never would’ve known he was Armenian if the show had been cancelled after season one ;^)
Watertown, where I live, has the second highest concentration of Armenians in the USA (SF being the first).
That’s how we Irish are, we’ll take anybody.
Yes, I’d heard that about the ending of their names.
I don’t think we have any concentration of them here in NJ; the ones I;ve met are mixed with everyone else (they don’t cluster like Indians or other Asians).
Interesting. Here they’re very concentrated, not that that’s a bad thing.

They probably arrived at the same time; many of the Portuguese and Spanish here in northern NJ were the same way. The first generation raised here moves out to live among “the English”.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks; living in NJ, the Amish were the only other isolated pocket I could think of...
In one of our towns along the Hudson River they had to pass a law requiring 1/2 of each sign be in English; they were all Asian alphabets, and firemen couldn’t respond to calls in a timely manner because they couldn’t read business names. Their chamber of commerce meetings are held in Korean, and neighboring Fort Lee has been re-named “Fort Ree” by haters...
