Alwon.com Roots from Homs, Syria Right: Shakir Katen, Nabiaha Gorab & Family c. 1913 CONTACT US 919 740 2939 Site Content Katen, Gorab, Azar, Ougile, Zrake, Assatly My ancestry always struck me as being important. Who am I? Where did I come from? What were my ancestors like? Why did they migrate from Homs, Syria, and other places from the Ottoman Empire? Through interviews, phone calls, an old family bible, and discussions with relatives before they passed on, I am able to shed some light on these questions. Perhaps, you may find some answers.

Katens The Katen's can trace their lineage back to Saman (b.1735) Gorabs The Gorab's beginning in this site begins with Abd-Allah Gorab (c. 1790 tp 1830). Azars Bishara Azar is the earliest ancestor we can trace. He died in 1930. Oujiles Mueseff Oujile seems to be born in the early 1800s. The Oujiles migrated to Hooker OK. Alwons & Zrakes Boustras Alwan (1830 to 1890) is as far back as we can trace the Alwon name. George Zrake (d. 1911) is my paternal grandmother's ancestor.

Alwon.com Zrake Family Matilda Alwon, nee Zrake, came from Damascus around 1912. She was born in 1895. She fled her Turkish dominated country when they took possession of her family home. Sadly, we know little about her ancestors. Such was the fate of women back then...and today. Copyright © 2020 Alwon.com - All Rights Reserved. CONTACT USTHE KATEN STORY George Alwon
