This is a database of information collected on thousands of Greeks over many years of research. (Note:  It also includes some non-Greeks that were living in Greece.)  Hope you find this helpful.  I will be adding more data regularly. 

It has been my experience that when doing searches for Hellenic Surnames it is helpful to be able to Browse through a list - not just do a search.  My family names were transcribed differently in just about every source I found. 

Examples of Information Included in Database:

  1. - Numerous Hellenic (Greek) Name References in  Modern Hellenic History Books along with pertinent data (including, where applicable, birth, death, marriage, etc. --- Greece, Australia, United States, + more -- (See below for list of books currently referenced in this database)

-  Greeks Resident in Australia 1916

-  Passenger Ship Arrival Records - United States, Australia, etc.

-  Census Records

-  Miscellaneous Records + + +

----------------------------------------------------------

I have done my best to transcribe this information accurately.  I would encourage you to look at the original records where ever possible.
