I think a little basic information is in order. Stephen Motian was the oldest son of Kavork Motian (1855-1909 or 1915) and Varter Bernazian (d.1892). He had one older sister, Maryam (1875-1968), two brothers, Serop (1890-1943) and Kerop (1892-1959), two half brothers, Hagop (1907-1983) and Armenak (1901-1976) and a stepsister Rebbeca (1892-1978). His stepmother was "Marne" Varter Kapougian (1874-1944). I do not know of any photos of Kavork or Varter.

This great photo was taken in France around 1925. Thank you to Rebbeca's son for sending me a copy. This is the only photo I know of of Marne and Maryam.

Above are Kerop, Stephen and Serop taken between 1910 and 1913. It was popular to put together photos of family members who couldn't be together. It was the Photoshop of the early 20th century!
