100routes - Route your Roots

This project, on the Armenian Genocide Centennial, is dedicated to the memories of the 1.5 million Armenian families that lost their lives in 1915. The descendants of these survivors can now be found in the four corners of the Globe, forming communities, building churches, and founding schools. This interactive site aims to collect all of these journeys by mapping the dispersal paths of Armenian families in the years following their expulsions from their ancient homelands. As descendants of these survivors, You can trace our roots by inserting:

  • Your name/family name (or choose to remain anonymous)
  • Your family’s point of Origin in the Armenian Highlands - Հայկական լեռնաշխարհ / Anatolia
  • Search for up to 4 cities where your family members have resided over the last century. If your desired city isn’t in the list, please choose the closest large city to it.
  • Compare your family’s journey with that of other users!

This website is a personal project of mine that I developped on my free time. I hope it works well but if you spot any issues, please contact me here. I used this map as base data. A special thanks to all my friends who helped me name this project and provided feedback to make it better.
