Just thought I'd shared: I saw a talk to the Rhode Island Genealogical society by Armenian genealogist Mark Arslan. He has created a growing database of abstracts of records of Armenians and people with Armenian heritage in America:
https://markarslan.org/ArmenianImmigrants/Public-ProjectReportsandQueries.php?submit=Project+Reports+%26+Queries
Abstracts of vital, census, military, naturalization, and newspaper records, as well as ship manifests, with citations to track down the originals. He also introduced a standardized spelling of each surname with a lookup tool to make it easier to find people recorded under variant spellings.
