The Bodikians unearths the origin of a family from its earliest known beginnings in the early 1800s in central Anatolia, part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. This volume describes the nightmare that befell them at the outset of the Armenian Genocide in 1915 and relates the tragedies and deaths suffered by every branch of the family at the hands of the Turks, leading to the final exodus around 1920-1923 from Ottoman Turkey to different parts of the world, where they sought sanctuary and began a new life. The lives of the surviving members of the family are also documented, showing how the Bodikians have flourished to the present day.
