About your Ancestors

Send us a Story about your Ancestors

We, the Committee of the Smyrneans Association in order to save the memories from the unforgettable land of Asia Minor kindly request your contribution to this effort to preserve this important historical evidence.

Thus, we ask you not to let your family history to be lost. You are the link that unites us with the refugees of the first and second generation.
Please write everything you have heard from your ancestors, who they were, where they were living in Asia Minor, their occupation and their activities and how they managed to survive during the 1922 catastrophe, where they finally established either in Greece or Abroad.

If Abroad, in which country and under what conditions? Any other information will be valuable.

Send us photos and any other documents (original or copy) that you believe will complete your family’s history. Any document is precious to our efforts.

Our goal is to publish all stories in our newspaper “Mikrasiatiki Echo”.

Please, write in Greek or any other language that is convenient to you.  A copy of the final form will be sent to you for verification before its publication.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation to our efforts to preserve and publicize the history, customs and traditions of our ancestors through individual information of our heritage.
For further information you are welcome to contact us either at our office or through e-mail.
