On November 25, 2024, Meletios Pouliopoulos of Greek Cultural Resources interviewed me on his weekly radio program at Grecian Echoes, WNTN Boston. A kind and gracious host, he wrote to his audience: I had the pleasure of interviewing a Greek genealogy expert, who is doing remarkable work. If there are any Greek heritage awards to be given, she and her colleagues should be at the top of the list.

We had a delightful and productive half-hour discussing civil and church records access in Greece; the Bite-Sized Greek Genealogy video series and its companion handbook, the work being done here at Spartan Roots and my village history project at Agios Ioannis, Sparta. We talked about online Greek record resources at Greek Ancestry.net and Hellenic Genealogy Geek website and Facebook page.

The segment is now available on Youtube.

Meletios is a man who is laser-focused on preserving Greek-American music and culture. For years, he has single-handedly collected recordings of Greek music, manuscripts, and films as well as newspapers, books and other publications. This provides a unique resource to musicians, teachers and the public. Read more about Meletios and his non-profit organization, Greek Cultural Resources, here.

Thank you, Meletios, for the opportunity to discuss our shared passion for Greek heritage preservation. I wish you every success in your most important work!
