IKARIAN TALES - An English language Book about Ikaria - see below how to order.

I am still hoping you will send in some of your old photos, stories, family tree information. You can use the contact form on this site to send me anything you wish to be included.
I am always open to any suggestions for our Douris Family website. It was never meant to be a site just about the Evdilos Douris's, please help me expand it with your photos, trees and stories.
Thank you ..Topsy

The surname DOURIS originated in Greece and is specifically from the island of Ikaria in the Aegean. There are known branches, in the UK, Ireland and France, who are not aware of the origins of their surname and whose connections with Ikaria have long been lost. Similarly there are DOURIS families in America, Canada and Australia, some from the Greek connection and others from Ireland or UK.

The aim of this site is to include all, who wish to be included, on this our DOURIS FAMILY SITE.

August 2014 Update
Dear All .

.
IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED - THE FIRST EVER PANIDOURI `
IT WAS HELD ON FRIDAY 8th AUGUST 2014 AT AKAMATRA IKARIA
A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL

A big thank you for all those that travelled to Ikaria to be present at the first ever Douris gathering on Ikaria

We had representatives from two Irish families as well as a Grand daughter of someone who had emmigrated to USA in 1909. Of course there were also the Douris families of Ikaria

We had both family trees and a DVD playing of Douris family members and scenes of Ikaria - get in touch if you want your family tree included next year.
The procedure for viewing the Family Trees is the same - registration gives access to them

Family Tree page. Trees are on separate pages according to the main place of residence of the home person. I hope this way it will be easier for everyone to identify other members of their line. .
All areas of the Website except the Trees are fully available to everyone. .
Don't forget the message board. It can be used to leave and swap messages about family matters, post notices of events of interest or just for saying `Hello` and for what you think of the site.
I would still like photos from other Douris Families to include on the site, especially old ones.
Again my thanks to all those who came all this way to make 8th August special..See you next year hopefully - Topsy
