Ohanian, Daniel · 2025
An open database listing approximately 130 boys and 40 girls and women who came to Canada as humanitarian refugees between 1923 and 1930: the groups known variously as the Georgetown Boys, Georgetown Girls, Fegan's Boys, Salvation Army Boys and Newham Boys. Each entry includes leads pointing to where further information about the individual can be found. It is the prosopographical companion to his Genocide Studies International article on the same migration.
