Interesting Tidbits (Nishan Krikor)

I found out something new about my great-great grandfather, Nishan Krikor Sherinian. I knew that he was married to Rebecca and emigrated to the United States with her. But I had no idea that after he died, he married a DIFFERENT Rebecca in France of all places! And this is during the time that he was translating the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price for the Church.
