The Kokolus Story
V 4.0 introduction letter

Dear Friends,

Another year has passed, and we are delighted to bring you an updated version 4.0 of the Kokolus Story website with a more user-friendly interface and with new, exciting information about our Kokolus family!

For instance, the US Immigrants Gallery is full of new documents, such as Marriage Index, Social Security Death Index, and US Public Records Index. Most importantly though, we are introducing a new type of easy-to-use descendant tables, which are conveniently linked to these Gallery documents in order to support and illustrate that the information on the website is correct and verified.

And the best thing about this brand new feature? There is no need to scan the whole Gallery in search for the various person-specific documents! One simple click on a link labeled “DOC” in your chosen Descendant Tree will take you to the corresponding table, and you can look up the individual of your interest plus all their related info and available documents right there. For illustration see the links below:

Just to recap, all the Kokolus family members who immigrated to the USA through Ellis Island, Baltimore or Philadelphia are already listed in the Immigrant Table. Some of them are also mentioned in the census lists of the in 1910, 1920, 1930 or 1940 US Census.

Nevertheless, we have added some new information about the Kokolus family members who immigrated to the US and updated the Descendant Trees:
