In 1934, Aunt Roza and Uncle Albert adopted a new family name: Aglamaz (a word in Turkish).
New family name in Turkish: In 1934, Turkey issued the "Surnames Law". According to this law, all families had to get a family name in the Turkish language. Consequently, Jewish families too had to accept new family names, in Turkish. The new family name Uncle Albert's family received was AGLAMAZ.
