How can i find my family in Greece?
I am a Greek woman. However my dad only received information on who his biological mom is ( he was adopted ). I looked through the papers and the only information on who his father is is that he is also Greek and from evia in santorini Greece. His mother has already passed before we could contact her for info. I’m going to Greece alone in spring, any help or ideas on how to find my grandpa? Anything helps. Please.. :/
I’ve never heard that the Island of Evia is in Santorini..!!
Evia the biggest Island in Greece, not that far from Athens.
Santorini is an Island in the Cyclades.
Evia and Santorini are 2 different islands.
Please clarify that.
If you know from which of these Islands is your biological grandfather you can proceed with the search.
Evia is really huge and has unnumerous small towns and villages.
Santorini is much smaller, as u might know.
For your search you need Family name and given name of your grandfather, birthday is useful.
You can start calling the local communities like Birth registers and hope that someone could help you. You should ask contact details from old ppl in the villages and ask about your grandfather.
The old ppl might know some more. If you know where from is your fathers mother, you could ask one of her brothers or sisters or neighbors if they do know something.
It will be impossible to find him by having just a name and not even be sure where he is from.
OMG…really you need HUGE luck
Go and type in your grandpa’s name at ancistory and it will tell you a lot about him

The best option is to learn as much information of the biological parents as possible. Then if it is either Evia or Santorini to learn exactly from which village, town they were from.
If he was adopted then that was done through an institution. Learn which one it was.
They have the records of the biological parents and of those who adopted the children.
Are the people who adopted your father still alive? They should have some relevant information of his biological parents, but then again depending on the way the adoption took place they may have no idea at all. If they are alive start with them.
It is imperative to know as much about the original place of birth and the names of the parents, or at least as much as possible.
If you will proceed on that alone, then you indeed need a lot of luck. A lawyer will be a best option.
