The first International Greek Ancestry Conference, offered virtually on Youtube from January 29 to 31, promises to shed new light on the process of tracing your Greek roots through genealogical research, according to greekreporter.com.
This fascinating, free event comes at the perfect time, as many Greeks in the diaspora are now interested in reconnecting with their family history and deepening their bonds with their ancestral land.
The conference was organized in part by Gregory Kontos, the founder of Greek Ancestry, a largely free online service where those of Greek descent can search for their ancestors’ records and learn vital tips about how to create their own family tree.
With topics ranging from the Greek War of Independence, The Greek diaspora, and new advances in genealogical DNA testing, the virtual conference covers the topic of Greek ancestry from all dimensions.
