Mariet Nazloomian Ancestry Scrap Book

Mariet Nazloomian is my dad's 1st cousin. She is Seth Nazloomian's daughter. Seth Nazloomian is my Grandfather's youngest brother. She wrote a scrap book in 1999 named "History of My Ancestors and I". I was very much inspired by her research and her work. Here, I have scanned some of the pages from her scrap book. Please let me know if you find your or your parents name in the pages.

Apologize for the quality. I plan to redo these scans in the near future.

Nazloom's medicine book

Nazloom was an influential woman and a well known doctor in Julfa, Isfahan. The name of our family was drawn from her name by adding “ian” (from the family of) to the end of her name.

Nazloom wrote a medicine book (above) and passed on her knowledge to her favored grand daughter-in-law Sandookht (top of the page). Sandookht was also a beloved doctor in the community. The street where she lived was dedicated to her name by people and until now the street is named Aroos-Nazloom, “Nazloom's Daughter-in-law” in Persian language.

Julfa was established by Shah Abbass the Great, the king of Iran, in 1605 for Armenians migrating to Iran from their native country of Armenia. The city of Julfa expanded rapidly to include several Armenian Villages. A few decades after its establishment, Julfa turned into not only a great commercial center for merchants, but also a highly developed artisan and cultural center. The first printing press in Middle East was built in Julfa in 1636. Julfa has twenty-four churches, including All Savior’s Monastery which contains sacred stones and relics brought from Etchmiadzin, an early Armenian church in motherland Armenia.
