Dear Therese
Thanks for this information. You certainly have saved me a lot of running
around.

I would have to "guess" the date of the marriage, judging from the
children's ages.
I know the names precisely. I am presuming they married in Athens as they
bore their two
sons there in the 1920's.

Thanks again - how do i contact these particular councils. Can i email them
or do i have to write to them - and must it be in "Greek". I have no idea
how to read/speak/write Greek.
Thanks
STef
