This information was mostly submitted by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Although only a limited number of persons from Greece are listed in this index, it is worth checking. This research tool lists birth, christening, or marriage dates. The International Genealogical Index is available at [https://www.familysearch.org www.familysearch.org]. as part of FamilySearch™.

'''Ancestral File'''. This file at [https://www.familysearch.org www.FamilySearch.org], contains family history information linked in family groups and pedigrees that have been contributed since 1979. By 1992 the file contained millions of names, including those of many Greek families. Through Ancestral File you can print pedigree charts, family group records, and individual summary sheets for any person in the file. However, be aware that all information has been submitted by volunteers, so some of it may not be correct. | '''Ancestral File'''.
