-Kevork, Soghomon's father, died heartbroken from his dear wife's death.
-Haroutiun Soghomonian adopted little Soghomon as his son, at the St. Teotoros Church in Kotahia, in the presence of the Church Council Members, saying "we will look after Soghomon together with our daughter Marig".
-Zmroukht looked after and breastfed Soghomon together with her baby, Marig.
-Kouline` and Soghomon moved into Haroutiun Soghomonian's house.
-Kouline` went blind and later died.
-Soghomon recognised Haroutiun as his father, Zmroukht as his mother, and Marig as his sister.
-Marig married Hagop Karakashian. Their children, Mkrdich, Karabed and Zmroukht. They were born in Kotahia and christened at the St. Teororos Church. They are the grandchildren of the Soghomonians.
