                  Ovsannas father was a soldier in the Turkish army and killed during his service. The mother was exiled with her baby.   

                  The caravan came to Deir-el-Zor, there Ovsannas mother fled and hid herself and her baby. She supported herself by working in different Moslem houses.     

                  Later they were exiled from Deir-el-Zor to Mardin. There the mother became ill and died. The child was taken to the Turkish orphanage.  

                  Not long afterwards the orphanage was closed and the children sent away.  

                  An Armenian pastor knowing Ovsanna being an Armenian kept her a time and then send her to us in Aleppo.
