Also, the parents of Joseph Greek, as mentioned, were Henry Greek and Catherine "Kate" Sellars. The Greeks from Pennsylvania did, at one time, spell the name Krieg according to my family info.

I don't know if Brenda (Greek) Johnson still checks this forum, but I was curious about her grandmother's maiden name, assuming Walter and Mildred Greek were her paternal grandparents. I have them in my tree, but no maiden name for Mildred.

I am Joseph and Berilla (Mills) Greeks' 3rd great grandson, through their daughter Rhoda and granddaughter Ruth McEllhiney.

Thanks so much! There must be some relation, now if I could just find a living Paraskevas or Constantinou that might be able to make a connection. I appreciate you passing that article on to me.

bgstockman — 2011-02-12 18:26:15Z

I found this info by accident but it mentions your family name. The link is below.
Constantinos Ahileos, Georgakis Paraskevas, Kyriakitsa Theohari, and Zacharia Hadji Theodossios were seriously wounded, the old priest Georgios was beaten and his chin cut off. An old woman of seventy- five, Kanelitsa by name, was violated. After many days spent in Ganos, the peasants emigrated to Greece.

Greek refugees from Myriofytou to Ganos 1912

weldun2369 — 2010-12-18 15:08:42Z

My grandfather and great uncle came to the U.S. in 1912, but prior to that , their family lived in Myriofytou and then the city of Ganos (Ghanochora). I understand that there was not only great conflict between the Turks and the Greeks, but also a devastating earthquake. I am searching for anyone that may have information on the Paraskevas or Constantinou families.

Lieuraney Greek

dhphillips1 — 2010-10-13 01:14:18Z

Lieuraney Greek was my great grandmother. I have been doing some digging into my fathers family which is Hodges. Anyone out there perhaps has a picture of Lieuraney or any info on her as to sisters, brothers? I don't have anything on her. She is buried at Swift Creek with my great grandfather, grandparents, uncles, aunts, brother.
Would really like to know more about her and her background. Email me at dhphillips@bellsouth. net
Thank you

John & Mary Jane (Bullock) Greek's Offspring

doyle_cm — 2010-08-04 18:24:22Z

Why did so many of the Greek kids in Evansville stay single? Was there something wrong with Anna C E Greek? She always had siblings to take care of her, especially brother Edward. He never married and always lived with her and sister Lillian, who also never married. The three siblings lived long lives, but I have no records of them ever being married and the census records show them living in the same house into their old age.

These were the offspring of John Greek and Mary Jane Bullock who lived in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana in the 19th century.

Her dad: Joshua Edward Greek - born 0ct 21, 1977, in Monett, MO, USA.

His dad: Howard Gene Greek - no info of birth or birthplace but currently resides in Aurora, MO, USA.

His mom: Linda Kaye Ourada Greek - no info on birth or birthplace but currently resides in Aurora, MO, USA.

His dad's dad: Edward Greek - no information on birth, birthplace, or death. Lived in Verona, MO, USA while alive.

Re: Abraham Delaney Greek

rsmith3008 — 2009-08-22 02:31:55Z

Abraham Greek is the son of William Greek and Betsey Peck. He was born in Susquehanna Co. PA abt 1862 (I do have the date, but didn't look it up.) He married Lois Carpenter of Schoolcraft, MI (she is probably the daughter of George Carpenter) His father William died of Thyphoid fever in the Civil War and is burried at Prospect Hills Cemetery in York, Pa (Civil War Circle). I have the pension records of his wife Betsey Greek. These records give marriage dates, childrens names and dates of birth. She also remarried on Feb. 8, 1865 to Grandison Eno of Forest, Vernon Co., WI.

Betsey Peck is the daughter of Moses Peck and Naomi _____. I have the 1850 thru 1880 census for her. I do not know where she died. I also don't know when her father died, but Naomi was married to Abraham Slater in the 1850 Susquehanna, PA census and is living next door to Wm & Betsey. In 1870 she is living with Betsey and her four sons.

If George Carpenter is Lois' father, she goes back to William Carpenter of Rehoboth.

Re: Fredrick and Martha Brubacher Greek family

tedwkunkle — 2007-11-06 15:24:10Z

Wesley Brubacher Greek, son of Fredrick and Martha Brubacher Greek, is my great grandfather. I trace my lineage back as follows: Theodore Wesley Kunkle (me) > Wesley Greek Kunkle & Rosana Romelia Black > Leah Beatrice Greek & Henry Phillip Kunkle > Wesley Brubacker Greek & Sarah Ann Stiving > Fredrick Greek & Martha Brubacher. I was born (1945)and raised in Bryan, Ohio but my roots are from Kunkle, Ohio. Would be interested in sharing information on the Greek, Kunkle or Stiving lines. I am particularly interested in any photographs that people may have of my grandmother, Leah Beatrice Greek. I only have one of her taken when she was between 16 and 18 years old. Also any photos of Wesley Brubacher Greek.

I was wondering if maybe you could help me out, or if this is a weird coincidence. While doing reasearch on my hubbys grandmother, I found her remarried to another person. Her name was Harriet Greek, daughter to Elijah W. and Dora. She was first married to Geroge Slater, and then in the next census their daughter Mary was the adopted daughter of William Saram, and her mother wife of him. This is in Monroe County Wisconsin. Not sure if there is a connection, but thought I would try.

Unfortunately, I have been searching for quite a while and cannot find any further information on Samuel and Eleanor. I have about the same information on them that you do.
Interestingly, I am also related to a Spangler. My grandmother, Esta Roush, married to Clarence Baumgardner, was the granddaughter of Joseph Roush and Mariah Spangler.
So, it seems we are related.

I'm searching for any information that anyone may have on Ernest Elijah Greek, married to a Lilian Connell Porter, I heard her nickname is "Bell" but can't confirm. I know Ernest was born on Apr. 21, 1861, but I can't seem to find any information before that on him. There were 7 kids between them, Melvin Leonard Greek, Edith May Greek, Ruby Pearl Greek, Carl Leon Greek, John James Greek, Olive Greek, and Maude Greek. I would also appreciate additional info on the kids if anyone has anything. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: looking for family members

I seen your message a couple of years ago. That was before I knew I was related to him. I couldn't remember where I seen your message to reply to, untill now. You already may know this by now Alvia Gerald Greek's father was Alvia L. Greek (born around 1888). Not sure who his mother was, as Alvia L. was married three times. I have a copy of your father's obituary in The Bradford Era, Bradford, Pa. that states he died Aug. 14, 1963 at the age of 36.
Alvia L. Greek was my great uncle. I have more information on Alvia L. Greek's ancestors, if you would like to know about them let me know.

Re: looking for family members

Alvia L. Greek was born on Oct. 1888 in Painted Post, Steuben County, New York. He was the oldest of 5 children named Alvia L., Pearl Mae, Harry Ernest, Olive Dimis and Clara A. Greek. The family moved to Bradford between 1900 and 1905. Alvia died sometime before July of 1959.
Their parents were Frank Benjamin Greek and Mary Ann Scott. They lived in Steuben Co. New York.
If you want more info on the Greeks & Scotts, let me know.
I have a photo of the family, dated around 1922. If you like, I can send you a copy and I have more details on them.

Greeks buried in OH

BarbaraAEyler — 2005-06-26 11:42:52Z

Just ran across your posting on some of the Greek families I've been searching for:

Elizabeth Greek (w/o Simon) - Her maiden name was Hagerman. She and Simon Peter Greek (s/o Samuel & Sarah Welshimer Greek) were married in Wyandot Co., OH on 19 Jan 1860, but I hadn't been able to find any more about her.

I did find another marriage record for a Simon Greek as marrying Mary Heastand on 15 Aug 1880 in Wyandot Co., OH. Also, on 3 Apr 1883, Jacob B. Bachar etux (his wife was Elizabeth Hagerman's mother)sold 80 acres of land to an Amanda Heistand. Don' know what the connection is?

The Wyandot County Directory for 1877 lists Simon Greek as living in Ridge Twp.

Elizabeth Hagerman's brother, Henry G. Hagerman married Hannah Greek, dtr. of George and Rebecca Harrison Greek, on 27 Jan 1859 in Wyandot Co., OH.

I have a lot of ancestors from Wyandot Co., Oh and plan a research trip there sometime this year. Your burial list was very helpful and gave me a couple places to start looking for some of the graves I'm interested in. Thanks on behalf of this "long-distance researcher."
