Tracing Patriarch Arida’s Family History in Lebanon
ملخص
In r/Lebanon, a community member seeks help tracing family history connected to Patriarch Arida, including relatives who migrated to Australia. They ask where to find records, photographs, and details about their ancestors’ early lives, and whether research requires visiting Lebanon.
Finding information on the family of a Patriarch
My great-great-great-grandmother Mariana Kairouz was the sister of Patriarch Arida. Their brother Rachid came to Australia and brought his niece and her husband (my great-great-grandparents). I still have some of Rachid's belongings, postcards and photos from Lebanon, but I don't have much information/photos of their upbringing/earlier life.
Is there anywhere that I could find this kind of information? Would I have to visit Lebanon to access it?
There aren't many English sources on this topic, and the last people in my family to speak Arabic were my great-grandparents.
Thanks in advance for any help.
