International Greek Ancestry Conference

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in family history and genealogy. While some cultures have more challenges in this pursuit than others, Greeks often assume the task is an impossible one. But it's not! If you'd like to learn more about researching your Greek roots, I have great news to share!

From Friday January 29th through Sunday January 31st, there is a FREE and virtual event to discover more about Greek history and genealogy! As this will be an international event, the times vary over three days:
  • Friday, Jan. 29: 7:45pm-10pm EST
  • Saturday, Jan. 30: 12:15pm - 3pm EST
  • Sunday, Jan. 31: 2pm-5:30pm EST
For the full schedule including times, presentation topics, and speaker bios visit Greek Ancestry's page for the International Greek Ancestry Conference.

I will be presenting on two topics:
  • “Why Orthodox Christians Should Do Their Genealogy”, at 8:45pm on Friday
  • “Using DNA in Greek Genealogy” at 4pm EST on Sunday

Why Orthodox Christians Should Do Their Genealogy
While Greeks come from a variety of faith backgrounds, the majority have ancestors who were Greek Orthodox Christians. Learn some Orthodox reasons to study one's family history.

Using DNA in Greek Genealogy
Have you taken a DNA test only to be shocked by your ethnicity results? Discover common ethnicity estimates for Greeks from different regions, why they're different, and why your results are perfectly normal!

To watch live for free, you can join us at Greek Ancestry's YouTube channel.

We're in the news, too! You can read more as reported by the National Herald and Greek Reporter.

I hope you'll join us for the first ever International Greek Ancestry Conference! 

Σας περιμένουμε! We await you!

Your ancestors deserve the best researcher, the most passionate story-teller, and the dignity of being remembered. So let's encounter your ancestors through family history and remember the past made present today!
