GREEK BMD - Can anyone write Greek??
« on: Saturday 13 June 09 08:40 BST (UK) »
Hi

I am trying to locate my Greek family (SIDERIS) from Argos in Greece. I have an email address for somewhere i can apparently obtain further info from, but the only problem is that i don't write Greek and no one in my family does! I did send an email in English, but i didn't get a reply.

I want to ask if any information can be found for the following people who were all born in Argos:

Ioannis SIDERIS married Panayoula SIDERIS. They had two sons (possibly more children?) Constantino born 15/8/1889 or 28/8/1890 and Angelo (unknown dob). Constantino married Erene Bellishotis b.abt 1888 in Argos. They had two sons, George b 8/6/1912 and Nicholas Constantino b 15/9/1914.
Erene died about 1915-1925. Constantino immigrated to Australia in 1914.

If anyone can put this is in Greek so i can copy and paste it to another email, i would be soooooo grateful!!

Thanks :)

Cannot promise.  One of my colleagues is from Greece, he may be in the office early next week.  Will see if he can have a go for you.

Hi ,
      Its all Greek to me ,    but this is from Babelfish on line translator,

Ελληνικά

Γεια Προσπαθώ να εντοπίσω την ελληνική οικογένειά μου (SIDERIS) από Argos στην Ελλάδα. Έχω μια διεύθυνση ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου γιατί κάπου μπορώ προφανώς να λάβω τις περαιτέρω πληροφορίες από, αλλά το μόνο πρόβλημα είναι ότι ι don' το τ γράφει τα ελληνικά και κανένας στην οικογένειά μου! Έστειλα ένα ηλεκτρονικό ταχυδρομείο στα αγγλικά, αλλά το ι didn' το τ παίρνει μια απάντηση. Θέλω να ρωτήσω εάν οποιεσδήποτε πληροφορίες μπορούν να βρεθούν για τους ακόλουθους ανθρώπους που γεννήθηκαν όλοι σε Argos: Ιωάννης παντρεμένο SIDERIS Panayoula SIDERIS. Είχαν δύο γιους (ενδεχομένως περισσότερα παιδιά;) Constantino γεννημένοι 15/8/1889 ή 28/8/1890 και ο Angelo (άγνωστο DOB). Ο Constantino πάντρεψε Erene Bellishotis b.abt 1888 σε Argos. Είχαν δύο γιους, George β το 8/6/1912 και Nicholas Constantino β το 15/9/1914. Το Erene πέθανε περίπου το 1915-1925. Ο Constantino μετανάστευσε στην Αυστραλία το 1914.

Hi

Thank you very much for your help with the translation and the offers of assistance. Yes, i did try emailing in English which got me nowhere and i also tried the Greek Consulate. They did originally offer to help, but then stopped replying to my emails. If you are trying to find rellies in another country and you don't speak the language, it is very hard!

Thanks again and i will let you know if i get a response! (fingers crossed!!!)
