Greek Family Group Sheets Project

Europe

Greece

Description

This is a growing collection - which means that all people of Greek descent are encouraged and welcome to contribute their family group sheets to this project. Our goal is to continue to expand this collection for future generations and to assist in increasing Greek ancestral research.

Please note that the group sheets have been translated word for word and letter for letter, exactly as is written on the sheet. This means that there are numerous typographic errors and place name mistakes. The information on the sheets is considered a secondary source. The information used for sources are taken directly from the submitter.

History

In the late 1970’s to the early 80’s, members of the Greek community came together with the purpose of documenting their immigrant Greek-American families. Subsequently, a collection with over 2,000 group sheets containing over 15,500 names, dates, and sources, were compiled into one collection.

Group Sheet Information

• First, middle, and surnames
• Dates of births, marriages, and deaths
• Children and their spouses, when given
• Submitter, notes, and sources
• Greek spellings of names and places - correct and incorrectly given by submitter
• Personal info such as occupation and multiple marriages, when given
