Charles Fenwick Holmes, 1852-1935, b. in Erzerum, = Elise Helene Harvey

Charles Peter Zorab. An important case in the law of Trusts involved him as one of the parties, since he was a trustee of two trusts associated with the famous British Armenian millionnaire, Calouste Gulbenkian.

E

Judge Edgar Albert (Eddie) Zorab LLD drew up the second Roman alphabet version of a Zohrab/Zorab family tree on the basis of the genealogical tree composed in Armenian by Aviet (Avetick) Carapiet Zohrabiants, of New Julfa, Isfahan, Iran, in 1919. Judge Edgar's tree was spread over five (5) pages of a notebook. I have received a version of this by email from Dr. John Zorab, and then a photocopy by mail from Mr. Kelvin Pollock. The two versions which I have received are clearly not photocopies of each other or of the same original, and the latter seems more authentic, in that it shows lines appearing to be those of a notebook, and in that it includes writing in Dutch, which was clearly Judge Edgar Zorab's main language (apart from Armenian, if he knew that).
