Greeks established Greek Orthodox churches wherever they had sufficient numbers. Before they could establish a Greek parish, they often associated with other Eastern Orthodox churches such as the Russian Orthodox Church. Consult church records for these churches if you expected to find your ancestor’s records in the Greek Orthodox church and didn’t. The church was the cultural and social heart of the community. The church helped the Greek people maintain their cultural identity wherever they settled. In America, for instance, they even offered Greek language classes for American-born children. | Greeks established Greek Orthodox churches wherever they had sufficient numbers.

The two primary ports of departure from Greece were Piraeus and Patras.

The U.S. Social Security program began in 1935 but most deaths recorded in the index happened after 1962. The '''Social Security Death index''' includes those who had a Social Security number and/or applied for benefits.
