Book: Greek Community of London - 1,423 Greek Names

I found another great book - "The Greek Community of London" by Timotheos Catsiyannis, Bishop of Militoupolis, Dean of the Greek Cathedral in London - published in 1993.  


He did a fabulous job, creating a very interesting and thorough book that has 783 pages and  what must be approximately 1,000 photographs and copies of documents ( I didn't do an exact count).  


Bishop Catsiyannis also included family trees for the following families of Greek descent:


Rallis Family Tree - (Stefanos Rallis (Born 1690) and Marietta Mavrocordatou)
Mavrocordato Family Tree
Franghiadis Family Tree
Argenti Family Tree
Rodocanachi Family Tree - (Merele branch)
Paul Rodocanachi & Marigo A. Ralli Family Tree
Rodocanachi Family Tree (begins Emmanuel Rodocanachi 1716-1790)
Schilizzi Family living in England (begins Hadzi-zannis Lourentzis Schilizzi (1720-1800) & Franga Avierinou (1738-1806)
Family Tree of Marica Omirou & Elias Mich. Eliadis
Family Tree of Elena E. Venizelou (her mother's family)
Schilizzi Family Tree (Iatroi branch)
Mavrojani Family Family Tree
Scaramanga Family Tree


As usual, I was able to borrow this book through my local library's Inter-library Loan program.  


You can view the TABLE OF CONTENTS at the end of this post.


Good luck with your Greek family genealogy research.

  2. Marina - I am sorry, but I didn't find this book available either, through Amazon or ABE books. You might want to try searching for an online used book seller in the United Kingdom. I don't know where you are located, but I was able to borrow it through the Worldcat Interlibrary Loan Program at my local library.
