Birth in Greece in 19th Century
« on: Friday 06 October 17 17:39 BST (UK) »
Here's hoping!
A relative in the USA has asked for help in researching his father's ancestry.  His father was August Dangos who was married in St. Louis, Missouri, USA in 1926 and who died there in 1983.

According to various United States civil and military records, August Dangos was born in Sarakini, Greece on 15 May 1885 or 1887 or 1890 or 1891.  The 1926 marriage certificate does not give any details of his parentage and neither do any of the other documents I have seen.

The relative in the USA has corresponded with the Greek Red Cross but they were unable to help.

Can anyone offer any suggestions about what my relative should try next?

Thanks for that.  I think my advice to my relative in the USA will be that he should employ a Greek or Greek speaking genealogist.  There are contact details for two of them elsewhere on the familysearch site
