All about Greek Genealogy with the Hellenic Genealogy Geek Facebook page

In the past few weeks, the subject of Greek or Hellenic genealogy has come up. At the recent RootsTech 2025 conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, I met Historian and Genealogy expert Gregory Kontos. He has a website at greekancestry.net. 

I met him in conjunction with talking to MyHeritage at the conference. MyHeritage is building a collection of Greek records. 

FamilySearch.org also has a sizable collection of Greek records. See the Research Wiki for Greece: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Greece_Genealogy

From the map of Greece in the Research Wiki and the list of Regions (Perifereia) and Counties (Prefectures), it looks like Greece is one of the more complicated places to do research including learning the alphabet and language. 

I am now interested in learning more about Greek genealogy.
