A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY ON LIZ CHATER AN ARMENIAN FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCHER SPECIALIZING IN ARMENIANS IN INDIA
Liz Chater, who is based in the UK, has been researching the Armenians in India for the last nine years. Her interest in the Armenians came about because she knew very little about her father's family, and so started looking into her family history. She soon discovered that she had Armenian ancestry. At the time, there was very little information available on the Armenians in India, and so as she discovered information she shared it with others interested in the India connection.
Four years ago, she decided to start an ambitious project to photograph and transcribe all the Armenian graves in India and to make that information freely available to other interested researchers. Following many trips to India she was able to place approximately 3000 pictures of the Armenian graves on her extremely popular website. However, due to lack of funding she has had to close her website for the foreseeable future, but is hopeful that a benefactor will be found to help fund the website and her unique research so that she can once again resume her research and complete the project. Liz's genealogical database has over 5,500 Armenians who once lived, worked and died in Asia and it is hoped that she will be able to get this information published and into the wider arena for others to benefit from.
During her research Liz also took time to look into the life of a distant ancestor of hers, Sir Catchick Paul Chater who was born in Calcutta in 1846 and, by all accounts, lived a most remarkable and successful life in the Far East. At the kind invitation of Bishop Armash Nalbandian, of the primate of the Armenian Diocese in Damascus, Liz will be visiting Damascus from the 1st February and during that time she hopes to be able to meet as many of the community in Damascus and talk about this most unique Armenian who lived in the 19th and early 20th centuries in Hong Kong and share some of his life and successes with you.
