Family History Center in Athens, Greece

JacobVl

Hello,

I would like to ask if anyone knows the status of the Family History Center in Athens, Greece. It doesn't show up on the locations map, but it has its own page on the wiki (https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Athens_Greece_FamilySearch_Center).

I haven't been able to get in contact with anybody to ask about possible visiting hours, neither through e-mail nor through other means. Unfortunately, it is the only Center in the entire country, so for a Greek there is pretty much no alternative.

I must stress that I am extremely grateful for the great work done by the LDS Church members. I don't mean to become a nuisance; I would only like to learn if the Center is indeed functioning. If not, I will still be thankful for all the other wonderful things I can research for the comfort of my own home.

Best regards

Jacob

I am not connected with FamilySearch

The following is the result of a Google Search, but I think it is the website of the LDS Church which is at the same address as the Athens, Greece FamilySearch Centre. There is a phone number given for the LDS Church 6936680410, perhaps someone there will be able to tell you about the status of the FamilySearch Centre.

Another alternative is to investigate whether a Library near you could become a Family Search Affiliate Library. (Copied from https://wiki.fibis.org/w/FamilySearch_Centres)
