[MGSA-L] Declaration of the Northern Epirotes from the Districts of Korytsa and Kolonia -- Pan-Epirotic Union in America, Boston, 1919

[Christos D. Katsetos]

Of possible historical interest is the "Declaration of
the Northern Epirotes from the Districts of Korytsa
and Kolonia Demanding Union of Their Native Province
with Greece -- Pan-Epirotic Union in America, Boston,
1919"

This lengthy document details the arguments and
reasons put forth by the Pan-Epirotic Union in the
U.S. for the attachment of the provinces of Korytsa
and Kolonia to Greece. It is signed by thousands of
Greek-Albanians (Northern Epirotes or Voreio Epirotes)
from across the U.S., listing their ancestral village
and U.S. city of residence -- a valuable document not
only for its historical value but also for its
genealogical utility.
