Dear members,

We would like your help, finding our family's roots. We come from Greece but as you might have noticed, from the surname (ΟΒΡΕΝΟΒΙΤΣ- ΟVRENOVITS), ignore the spelling since the Greek authorities write the surnames the greek-lish way, our roots are Serbian. We know that our grand-grandfather, named Jovan Ovrenovits?, Obrenovich? and came from Serbia to Greece in 1905. We know that he was born around 1875 (1870 - 1880) and nothing else. He married a Greek lady (out gran-grandmother)and had 7 children with her. Unfortunately he died in 1927 and all of his
children were very young, and that's why there is no knowledge about his history, family (father's, mother's name , if he had brothers and sisters, which was his birth town etc) . On the other hand our gran-grandmothers was always very secretive about her husband's past, telling her children and grandchildren nothing about his previous life. We haven't found any kind of documents and the only thing that we have is our gran-grandfather’s photos and some histories of our grandfathers about their father. We would really like to find our roots but we don't know the way. Any kind of help from you it would mean a lot. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely
ΜΑΡΙΑ ΟΒΡΕΝΟΒΙΤΣ
