Yeznig was a little baby when he became an orphan. He was adopted by an Armenian family and deported with them. On the road a Kourd took him from his step-parents to his house. After four years they put him out-door and Yeznig made his way to Harpoot, where he lived three years as a farmer.

            When Armenians were starting for Aleppo he fled from his second master and came with a caravan to this city.

            As far as we know he has no relatives.

Yeznig was received in the orphanage of the N.E.R.

Left our care: April 10, 1923. Orphanage N.E.R.
