Europe / HELP!!! with a GREEK genealogy, please.
« on: Friday 03 April 15 16:13 BST (UK) »
i've been working on my cousin's father's family. i've got a lot State-side, but it is a slog. one of our friendly chatters mentioned trying here. dawhhh, forgot the European resources. we are both only children/daughters with all parents dead.
she is half Greek. i took on this project guessing what it might be like. we've got feuds, accusations, often, OFTEN!, traveling back to Greece, and name changes--not just to anglicize, and the various spellings of names both phonetically and just plain misspelled. i am looking at a family, LINES, who appear to have come to the U.S. late 1800's. the name MAY have originally been TSAFOULIUS. this particular family settled in VERMONT, U.S. they were from SKOURA, (SPARTA) LACONIA, GREECE. forenames include JAMES, GEORGE, AUGUSTUS, CONSTANTINUS, NIKOLiUS, and various translations both Greek and English. almost all generations in VT, U.S. ended up as restaurateurs. i need to , somehow, verify name; any other info will be gravy. and i do not speak or read Greek, but i can Google translate if i need to. THANK YOU
