"Researching Greek records in the Venetian Archives" by Nick Santas (1/30/2022)

2nd International Greek Ancestry Conference (Jan. 29-30, 2022) - Session III: Research Tips and Developments

The ‘Kingdom of Morea Archives’ collection covers the period of the second Venetian conquest of the Peloponnese (1685-1715). It has been the subject of historical research in the past, but has had very limited genealogical examination. During this session, Nick aims to share his findings with you, help you familiarise yourself with the practical steps when accessing the archives, and give you a taste of what is available.

Born in Norwich, England but raised in Greece, Nick Santas returned to the UK to study Economics and Finance. He qualified as an Accountant and worked for the English National Health Service for eight years and the Foreign Office for a further three years. He quit his job in 2018 to pursue his dream of studying Law and is currently in his last year, including a semester in Vienna, Austria. With roots from the village of Kastorio at the foot of Mount Taygetus in Laconia, the village of Vathia in Aposkieri Mani, the Arvanites of Methana and the Roumeliotes of Mount Parnassos, he began his genealogy journey in 2015 when he first came across his great-grandparents’ records in pre-war Lynn, MA. Little did he know that six years later his tree would include over 500 people. During this year’s Hellenic Genealogy Conference, he is hoping to introduce you to his recent exciting work on the Venetian Archives of the Kingdom of Morea (1685-1715) and hopefully to help answer some of your questions on how to access and use this service.
