In-person legwork in Syria

2 min read · King Hands practical guide

Syrian legwork is that of Brazilian roots: the directorate of the province of origin (Homs, Hama, Damascus — the emigration villages!), the confessional holdings (the Christian churches that baptised the great-grandparents), the real map of the zones. An executor who knows the village closes a century-old circle.

The typical scope

  • The family ikhraj qayd at the directorate of origin.
  • The Damascus chain.
  • The churches' holdings (Orthodox, Melkite, Maronite) for Christian roots.

The proofs

The milestone standard — the village documented: the photo of the family's century-old qayd is worth the whole mission.

Frequently asked questions

Do the churches keep the old baptisms?+

The Syrian Christian parishes record centuries — the baptisms of those who emigrated to Brazil around 1900 are often there. The classic complement to the qayd.

The devastated zones?+

The real map decides — the operating directorates and the central archives cover part; an honest search says the rest.
