My colleague, Georgia Stryker Keilman of Hellenic Genealogy Geek and I have thoroughly enjoyed creating the video series, “Bite-Sized Greek Genealogy.” These short presentations are our way of sharing what we have learned in researching our Greek family history. We also hope these videos will help others avoid making the same mistakes as we did, and to avoid the myriad of pitfalls that we encountered.

Education for any topic is critical for success! Therefore, we are taking this series one step further.

With the videos now complete, we embarked on writing a booklet to capture the notes and talking points that accompanied our slide presentations. This booklet is now complete and is available as a free download at this link.

The booklet is structured according to the contents of each video. Each chapter contains links to the relevant videos and additional references and website links which correlate to the topic.
