The book also includes vital records of birth, marriage, tables, photographs, other resources, cultural information about traditions with explanations for the younger generations 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 adults and their children living in Greece, or who now live abroad, and anyone who is interested in Greek ancestry.
