In The Beginning, A Greek Came To
The New World (USA)
From An Island In Greece 

  A mighty woman with a torch, her name Mother of Exiles, from her beacon-hand glows world-wide welcome, here mild eyes command. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Send these, the homeless to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

  Millions of immigrants found their way to the U.S. through Ellis Island in the New York harbor. From 1892 to 1954, as many as 60 million people made the trek through Ellis Island to life in the United States or a disappointing boat ride back home

 Introduction:

  This family web site is designed and maintained by the second Grand-Son of the first Chionis that came to the United States. Demetrius Constantine Chionis, his new American name was James C. Heonis. Please be sure to read the
Family History link page. He had two brothers (Paraskevas Constantine Chionis) (Christos Constantine Chionis) that died at an earlier age but they were married and had children.

   The other Chionis Family Tree is still "under construction". I am only at the begaining stage as I try to sort out this information from the genealogy record book of Gus Heonis. The first part I am working on is the Family Tree of "Paraskevas Constantine Chionis" and "Christos Constantine Chionis", and each generation that follows with their full name, date of birth, date of death, date of marriage, wife/husband full name, wife/husband date of birth and date of death, wife/husband father and mother full name, wife/husband children. "Hope this is easy to understand", maybe not to some.

    So far I have only found one error in the genealogy record book of Gus Heonis. The wife of Paraskevas Constantine Chionis,
Evangelia S. Corodimas date of birth and death. I do need the correct dates for her, even if it is just the year. If any family ancestors of these two brothers would like to help with the family tree information, please contact me.

    I would also like to know the Email Address of any ancestors from these Chionis Family members. This way I can contact them to let them know when any updates have been done. My father (Gus Heonis) kept in contact with most of his greek friends and family members when he was alive.

   At the present time I am going through the many photos albums of my father (Gus D. Heonis) and picking out the ones to use on the Heonis.com web site. It takes much time to scan these photos and edit them for better viewing. I am also updating each family page with more information and will be adding a photo album to many of them in time. I hope to have most of these new family tree pages on the Internet in a few weeks.
