US Immigrant History / American Studies / Industrial Revolution: Greek immigrants were among those who came to New England to work in the early 20th century textile and shoe mills of Newport, NH. This memoir and local history likely parallels the experience of other communities, other ethnic groups in combining traditions with assimilation realities. Here, the American roots of 34 Greek families took hold: their native villages, arrivals, marriages, families, business ventures, military service, and lives lived. Also, there are sections describing celebrations and traditions observed among this subculture of community. Families: Megalogenis, Vaeni, Cuciufiti, Catsam, Economou, Evangelou, Ambargis, Stamatiou, Hasevlat, Condos, Mosconas, Coronis, Durmas, Latchis, Franklin (Fragapoulos), Anastos, Saggiotes, Gokas, Lantas, Bartzokas, Karras, Spanos, Kungulis, Zahareas, Miller (Milliou), Hagianis, Andrews (Andreas Skinas), Ypsilanti, Kakitis, Coidakis. Use of Greek words in phrasing and event names. Helen Coidakis Stamos is a first generation Greek-American, and her peers who grew up in Newport with her, under the watchful guidance of their neighborhood of parents, assisted her in gathering their stories and family photos.
