by Peter Bournias (Author)
The Bournias Family History, Heritage, and Personal Legacies is genealogy research encompassing more than twenty years performed in Greece. It explains the heritage and lineage of the family beginning from about 1760. It includes historical explanations about the family from their origins on the island of Chios, to their emigration to Asia Minor, and their endeavors to better their lives by those who returned to Greece or emigrated elsewhere. The book also includes vital records of birth, marriage, tables, photographs, and other resources, cultural information about traditions with explanations for the younger generation of family members that emigrated to other countries. Family profiles of individuals by year of birth help to develop a timeline connection to historical events. The table of contents and an index help the reader find information easily throughout the book. It is a valuable treasure for the adults and their children living in Greece, or who now live abroad, and anyone who is interested in Greek ancestry.
