Birthplace for Nicholas MOROS *Completed* :-)

[Koromo]

Hi

Can someone see what the birth country is for Nichoas MOROS b. 1856 on the NZ naturalisations?

A brief mention in 1893 [PapersPast] says he was a naturalised Greek, and on an online tree he is said to be born on Psara Island, Greece, but his name won't come up on the index if I enter Greece.

With thanks
Koromo

Hi....the only info on the "Aliens Naturalised in NZ: 1843 – 1916" microfiche is name, occupation, place of residence and date of naturalisation. No mention of place of birth sorry.

In a nutshell, Nicholas MOROS, a fisherman from Dargaville, Auckland was issued Letters of Naturalisation on the 9th of March 1888

I'm guessing the fiche is sourced from the NZ Gazette. I have a screen-shot of the relevant page of the Gazette if you're interested.

Have you tried Tribal Pages?  There is a Nicholas George Moros born in Greece listed on one members page.

Grrrrrr!  When telephone lines go bad in this part of the world it takes so long for the fixit men to arrive.  With luck I'll stay online long enough to post this!

Thank you very, very much to you all for the information on Nicholas MOROS.  I thought he must have been Greek but because I couldn't get his name to appear on the index along with a birthplace of Greece, I started to get a bit worried.  His daughter was my grandfather's second wife after my grandmother died — all long before I was born.

Gratefully,
Koromo



PS. I haven't seen the Tribal Pages — will certainly check that out, if my broadband line lets me.

I also have family living in Cypress, sometimes quicker to use snail mail.

There are two Nicholas Moros on tribal pages.  Hope one is your man.
