Rízes Hellenic Genealogy Research (RízesGen) helps Greek-American families trace immigrant ancestors, identify ancestral villages, connect U.S. records with Greek records, and reconstruct documented family histories across generations.

Greek-American genealogy often requires comparing passenger lists, naturalization records, census records, vital records, name changes, village clues, and Greek municipal records. RízesGen provides professional research support for families seeking to reconnect with their roots in Greece.

​

What Greek-American Genealogy Research Can Include

 

Greek-American genealogy research may involve U.S. census records, naturalization files, passenger arrival records, draft registrations, marriage records, death records, obituaries, church records, cemetery records, family papers, and Greek civil or municipal records.

​

Connecting American Records to Greece

 

Many Greek immigrant ancestors used altered names, shortened surnames, translated given names, or inconsistent birthplaces in American records. RízesGen helps clients evaluate these clues, identify the most likely ancestral village or municipality, and connect Greek-American family history with records in Greece.
