Village of Garissa: There were about ten Syriac families living in Garissa 1915. They first moved to Beth Zabdai, and later to Mosul, where they settled.
Village of Heniki: is a village situated within the Syriac diocese of Jezire (also known as Hani or Hanewiye). During the Sayfo or Syriac Genocide between 1915 and 1924, the village was home to approximately 400 Syriac Christians. In 1915, the village was attacked by Ottoman army units and Kurdish forces during the general campaign to eradicate the Christian element in the Jezire diocese. Archival accounts indicate that the entire Christian population of the village was murdered during this period, with no survivors documented in the immediate aftermath of the slaughter.
