Unlocking Greek Genealogy: New Records and Innovative Tools for 2026

The field of Greek genealogy has experienced significant growth in recent years. What was once a landscape with virtually no online, searchable records or digitized resources has rapidly evolved. Today, an increasing number of Greek genealogy materials are becoming accessible online. Join Greek genealogy expert and pioneer Gregory Kontos, as he showcases these exciting developments, tracing the journey from the earliest efforts to digitize and share Greek genealogical records to the latest breakthroughs. Together, we will explore newly released and soon-to-be-released historical record collections, many of which are launching in the lead-up to and during RootsTech 2026. In addition, the session will introduce a highly innovative research tool, radius-based searches, debuting just days before RootsTech, offering fresh possibilities for those exploring their Greek ancestry!
